I wasn't that well versed in the history of Detroit so found this part of the book interesting and enjoyed that part of it but I wasn't that engaged with the characters. The way author weaved them together was simple but clever so it felt like the book got to where it should.

The way it was written made me think it would be a far more exciting film than book. It wasn't an automatic page-turner but enjoyable nonetheless.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

Levin seems to have "it" which I guess is talent. He's got great writing chops, and it shows here. I stayed engaged with this story, and like a couple of things that surprised me along the way. Recommended.

I really appreciate the free review copy for review!!

I tend to be skeptical, when a novel seems to consist of a collection of short stories or is being told from various characters' perspectives. However, Donald Levin, has made a good job of it, and I was intrigued from the very first moment, and interested in following all these cues and traces of people, whose destinies in the City of Detroit are connected and intertwined. I enjoyed the read.

Knowing a bit about Detroit and it’s history, I found this book an enjoyable read, but would have perhaps been enjoyed more if I had not been aware of that history. Certainly far from being an automatic page turner, which I don’t think it was meant to be, it did provide a different read from normal.
