Deadwood by Pete Dexter

dark funny reflective fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Very entertaining - close to 5 stars. The dialogue is great, at times reminiscent of Beckett. The author was, of course, restricted by the actual events in Deadwood, so I wished that some relationships could persist, but I guess that's the point. As Agnes Lake says, <i>Things don't care how they happen, that's left for us, to care.</i>
