Book Reviews of The Delivery Man: A Novel
Book Review: "You are not loved by anyone."
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was recommended to me by a friend, and I flew through it in a few days. The story is a depressingly tragic one, with self-destructive characters that don't catch any breaks and seem to have no positive motivation to improve their bleak lives. None of the characters, even the main character Chase, is particularly likeable, but they are compelling nonetheless. McGinniss Jr. paints a vivid portrait of this slice of Vegas life, and uses flashbacks to delve deeper into the relationships between certain characters, and show why they can't seem to let go of each other no matter how much it may ruin their lives in the end. The story ends on an unfinished note, but it also gives a sense of everything going full circle. A self-destructive circle that none of these character can escape. It's definitely a story that will stick with you after you've finished it.
