Negative Positive
Title: Life in the City of Brotherly Love
Review: Having read almost all of Griffin's books, I was excited to find out that he had a new one out there.Having lived here, myself, for the past ten years, Griffin's descriptions of Philadelphia and the surrounding areas as well as the nature of Philadelphia politics and Society have always been right on the money; and I have to say, he's done it again.I've always found it most interesting in Griffin's novels to be able to precisely place the action based on the landmarks that the author provides; however, this time, Griffin's landmarks were a little bit on the old side since many of the locations he mentions have be gone for a number of years.While the places may have changed, and the names of the people might be far different, the nature of corruption and the presence of "underground" business management is more of a reality than ever.Griffin's book only served to remind me how much stranger truth can be than fiction.
