Book Reviews of The Big Blowdown
Book Review: An amazing implosion of elements
Summary: 5 Stars
Superbly written and fast paced, you're right there on the streets of DC just after the war. The episodic broken timeline of the first few sections is heart rending and thrilling in its almost filmic detail, giving way to an amazing implosion of elements at the end. I read about this book first in Time Out's sparse, but always spot-on, weekly book review. I loved it and can't recommend it highly enough.
