This is basically a &quot;father-son&quot; book, and a lesser writer could easily have turned this same story into something completely tiresome - but Fante writes well, and here he's often funny, reflective, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28192838">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved every John Fante book I have read, which is most of his books. Great story telling, some of the best and most original scenes I've encountered, and great showing of the character's thought process in a very organic way. Some of the funniest, and some of the saddest, fiction I've read. Fante ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29384950">more...</a>]]></body>

I like to see characters written with raw intensity - all the horridness of them presented without gloss.
