At times brutal, at times quixotic, this novel by Colin Harrison is always a quirky little read. The sometimes~tough~to~follow plot weaves in and out of many places in New York City and Long Island making both an integral part of the story. Had I not had the benefit of growing up in NYC, I don't think I could have followed the story as well as I did.
Additionally, the legalese, real estate jargon, medical and gangsta vernacular could serve to put off some readers. The nearly~formulaic conclusion was a predictably happily ever after that serves as a bit of a let down.
Is it worth the read? Sure. It shouldn't take too long to meander through and the assortment of characters is certainly worth it.
