"Three stars is still superior--but this sequel to Dear Mr. Henshaw is not Dear Mr. Henshaw, one of the best books ever, a book which stays fabulous upon rereading much better than 1984 did.

Walkin' the Dog (Paperback) by Walter Mosley |
my rating:
|

read in June, 2007
elissa said:
"Not a fan of all of Mosley's stuff, though I admire how ambitious he is in not letting genre hold him back--but Socrates Fortlow might be one of my favorite heroes ever. These are fun character-driven stories that can be read on many levels.
