What Members Thought

Really beautiful writing. I felt completely transported and the characters were written so realistically that I thought, for a moment, that this was an auto-biography and not a novel that captures the spirit of the 1950s lost man--but it did that beautifully. The plot can be hard to follow and centers around the unraveling of Dean, the antagonist, but the manic style contributes to the overall atmosphere of the book. Gorgeous work.
