Title: excellent...nuff said
Product review: unlike many of the other reviewers, I'll leave a brief REVIEW and not a BOOK REPORT that hits all the major plot points and gives away the flow of the novel. (god bless the internet and its accesibility) the writing is excellent, pulls you in from page one. the writer has a way of drawing flawed characters and making them human and makes the reader empathize with their plight, even if they are characters, for the most part, we wouldn't want to spend time with in the real world. Walter Mosley gets to the heart and soul of his characters, something that many writers fail to do. He's not afraid to show you the unprettiness of his characters and this country. What amazes me is how many reviewers are genre-stuck and not able to grade a story on its on merit. "it's not a mystery.." DUH. This novel is another expample that shows why Mosley is great. it's not about race or genre. He's an excellent writer, period.
