This was the first book he wrote not as part of a series, so I figured this would be as gripping and compelling and gritty as the other books.

    <body><![CDATA[Another excellent book from Huston, who also shines in his Joe Pitt/vampire private eye series. (No, really!) <br/><br/>Think of this as &quot;Stand By Me&quot; by Steven King on meth. Four aimless boys in small-town California circa 1980 smoke dope, goof off, and avoid looking for summer jobs. Th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12776800">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Totally visceral coming of age story. Slightly little less gruesome than Steinbeck's The Red Pony. Can be a little difficult to track the dialogue (no dialogue tags or quotation marks, just a dash), but that can be said of any Huston novel. Dig the photorealistic dialogue, but Geezer's asking other ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77580551">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not quite as consistently bracing and blistering as I was hoping for, but still very hard-edged and good.  The story lurches suddenly when some mildly hooligan kids being delinquent are mixed up in major-league criminal villainy.
