A Choir of Ill Children by Tom Piccirilli

2.0

Wanted to give the book a 1.5 but as thats not possible, i rounded up to 2 stars. The writing is wonderful. But this books lacked overall cohesion. Thomas was not even close to a likeable character. It consistently feels like he's rewarded for inaction, to the point of not truly looking for his best friend even though he had a risk of being lynched. His conjoined triplet brothers didn't truly factor into the story other than to give some vague ramblings and honestly more of the book is spent on Thomas' real or imagined sexual exploits. I found the book unenjoyable and I do hope that Tom Piccirilli's other books prove more satisfactory to me.
