The Night Always Comes by Willy Vlautin

umbranrealness's review against another edition

4.0

The action and dialogue in this book reminded me a lot of plays - particularly the repeated detail about how many times it took Lynette's car to start, and her mum's long rants. A bleak book with a hopeful ending. Read it in 2 days, so you know it's good!

miserable people, miserable story, miserable writing. It was the horrible writing that really pissed me off - can handle a story about miserable people but not if it is horrible written like this.
