Amy, I usually like addiction narratives a lot, but this one left me cold.

Im glad to read ypur review, i believe our line if thinking is somewhat similar and i believe i would most likely be left with the same feelings. I need solid supporting character lines to add depth to a book im reading...sounds like this isnt one for me.

I found myself wondering if the biography Duke tells Gary was being written by Starlight was ever actually written. I would be interested to read that because the part about Duke was fascinating to me.

Chico was the best part of the book. I didn't find the first part as trilling. The kid's part have the book a time that allows you to finish it at peace. When I say weak, I understand his role was written pretty soft. But that evens out the novel plotazerikaj wrote: ↑10 Jun 2018, 15:18 Vincent, yeah, other people do sometimes remind us what's important, but I thought that most of the supporting characters in that book were just props for the main character's realizations, and I thought the characterizations of everyone who wasn't Duke and Chico was a little weak.
