Title: I loved this book
Review: Night Journey is a compelling work of literature by a young author destined to become a literary star. In his remarkable novel, Kalam dares to go where few other writers have gone, using the Third Ward in Phoenix Arizona, an area where prostitution and drugs are rampant, as the setting for his novel. Night Journey beautifully tells the tale of Eddie Bloodpath, a young man who struggles to become a boxer in order to avoid a life of hustling and drug dealing. In addition to Eddie, Night Journey's cast of characters includes pimps, hustlers, drug dealers, and prostitutes- all of whom are depicted with a sense of tragic realism. Few other writers could have written about Phoenix's Third Ward with the same sense of grace and humanity. Although this book certainly deserves 5 stars, I'm withholding one star until the author writes a sequel finishing Eddie's tale.
