Review title: a good book to spend an evening with
Product review: Emerson's books are always a fun, quick read. This is not one of his best but I enjoyed it as usual. I must do a great deal of technical reading and writing so spending an evening with Thomas Black is a particular treat---I think he's someone I'd like to know in real life. Emerson writes well (if a bit heavy on simile) and his plots are well crafted; he makes them more than just who-dun-its by weaving in thought provoking social problems such as homelessness, aides, and drug use. His settings are also great---I love following his travels around Seattle and neighboring towns since I grew up in that area and know right where he is most of the time. I'm just waiting to find my hometown, Marysville, in one of his books.
