Book Reviews of Knockemstiff
Book Review: Down, Dirty and Gritty...
Summary: 5 Stars
I first heard about this book and Mr. Pollock through a radio interview. I found Mr. Pollock's own personal life story and how he came to writing as interesting as this book.
Make no mistake, this is no FEEL GOOD collection of stories, this is a collection of short stories about how bad life can be and the poor, misguided and totally screwed up bastards that are living it. I hate to say it, but I have met and known people like this and Mr. Pollock's descriptive and penetrating prose breathes life into these stories and the poor souls that inhabit them and their shallow and depraved existence.
After I read this book, I wanted to read more by this soon to be great author.
