I tried, I really did. And based on the almost universal positive reviews, I'm in the minority. But I really don't get the fuss about this book. The characterization was dreadful, so full of stereotypes that not a single character felt real to me - the passive and childlike, drug-addled mother, the ...
Please note that I gave this book 3.5 stars but rounded to 4 stars on Goodreads.So I would rather read an overly ambitious book that failed in the execution, than one that was not ambitious enough that failed. Does that make sense? I have read some glowing reviews about "Redemption Road" from fellow...

This book is the movie that everyone says that you "just have to see!" the movie that is so good that your friends have all seen it thrice and they can't wait for you to see it and adore it as much as they do.

Redemption Road, put simply, is an incredible novel. While I was in it I was IN it, this is intensely absorbing writing with a depth to it that is utterly and completely gripping – the characters, the story, the sense of place and time, ALL of it bang on the money creating a perfect storm. Coming ...

I absolutely loved every part of this book. Someone recommended it to me, and I wish I could remember who so that I could thank them. It's about the love of family. It's about organized crime. It's about psychological disorders. It has heart, survival, murder, mystery, brutality, beauty...I cou...
