Book Reviews of Last Exit to Brooklyn (An Evergreen book)

Book Review: A bleak outlook at humanity through Brooklyn life.
Summary: 4 Stars

I, particulaly, enjoyed the history of the book - reading how the book was banned and then the ban was lifted. The literally history became even more relevent when reaching the end of the book. I realised that any thought that this book could "corrupt and deprave" the '90s reader is quite comical once it is compared to trainspotting or American Pyschos.

For people who are souly looking for great characterisation - this could truly be an ideal book - more acurately Strike could be a real chapter - It gives an insight into a multi facated character in Harry. Unfortunately, this is the only character that this happens for.

If you are looking for a great story - Dont bother with this book - It is as much a questioning into YOUR (the readers) morals as it is a novel and in some ways it is a work of ethical philosophy merely set in the hard projects of Brooklyn.
