Title: Gripping and Vibrant
Product review: This is the second Lansdale novel I've read, after the uproarious "Drive-In" which I highly recommend. Comparisons to Harper Lee notwithstanding, The Bottoms is a gripping, vibrant story of one child's journey from the world of innocence to experience through a gauntlet of racism and murder. By turns chilling, uplifting, horrifying and, finally, bittersweet, Mr. Lansdale has fashioned an excellent and moving novel. The language is colorful and assured; the setting evocative and rich. But best of all are the characters, especially Miss Maggie and Mose, who will stay with you long after you've closed this book for the last time.
