Negative Positive
Title: One of Mosley's Best
Review: This book, which constitutes the backgrounds of the allegiance between Mouse and Easy (two of popular modern literature's more interesting protagonists) not only fills in historical blanks, but is a great read all by itself. Mouse and Easy travel south (along with two hitchhikers) to try and pursuade Mouses's cruel stepfather to finance Mouse's wedding. By the end of the novel however, the stepfather and one of the hitchikers are dead, and Easy must deal with the fact that he took money to keep his mouth shut about the killings. What's most interesting is that Mosley wrote this book in the eighties, before he was published at all, and then could not sell it until the marketability of black authors had been established. Overall, a very worthwhile buy
