Lucky Charm....or Not?
A bit surprised, I was, by this story's ending. Pulled along, at first, by an almost whimsical and folk-lorish tale 'chuck' full of 'please sir can I have some more' Irish hardship. An off-ish collector of trinkets and such or, shall we say, found objects, like rolling heads of cabbage and a snake-like charm. A bit confused at first, I wondered if the narrator was delusional with a mad leprechaun harassing the narrator in his satchel bag at the get-go, then in his kitchen. A lovely neighbor steps in to help-a love interest of the green storyteller. Readers are carried away with what seemed to be a quaintish hawn. The, suddenly, an unexpected torso found in washington square park in the center of the academic area of New York City. A body. A found object. I'll let you read it.......

It is not surprising that this book is on the bestseller list. It is a wonderful story. It reads like a film noir. The end was chilling. I loved the cocky tone of the protagonist. I was left wondering if the story was real (in its fictive world) or merely a demented dream. Either way -- and the best part is that I don't know -- it was an intriguing read. I highly recommend this book.
