challenging slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

The defense attorney's monologue at the end of this story may be the best thing I have ever read. The personal responsibility crowd will see this book differently from those of us who understand the complexities of the American experience. 4/5 Stars
