This was an interesting little (ok maybe not so little) book. If it was a conversation instead of a book, you'd call the author a name dropper and probably hate them, but since it's a book, and a work of fiction at that, it seems more like a version of Forrest Gump set in 1950's Detroit. In that our fictional characters somehow managed to bump into every influential or up and coming "celebrity" of the time, from Ray Kroc to Nabokov to DiMaggio and Monroe to Elvis.
The plot was well crafted, the characters well designed. The book had a pretty torrid pace throughout, except that I felt the conclusion fell kinda flat. I'd be interested to see if there is a sequel...do they call the next book in a series that?, but anyway, if so I'd like to pick it up and continue the adventure. It was a fun look into a time that I was not around for and don't know too much about. Very enjoyable.… (plus d'informations)
