L. Johnson 5 Star Review

 Thank You to Larry Johnson who gave me a 5 Sar Rating and a very nice review. He also included some editing tips, which I appreciate. Copy and pasted here: Larry Johnson A very good first novel August 27, 2021 Format : Paperback This book has excellent characters and an interesting plot. If it seems not to have much point early, stick with it. You'll be rewarded. Biesty is a master at creating a sense of simultaneous working-class struggle and aimlessness, and his main character, Dan Carolan, is a polished and practiced cynic with good reason to be. His roommates are a circus of users who take petty advantage of one another and are mostly jerks. This is an excellent first novel. I found it interesting that Biesty is retired from the New York City Fire Department. A note to the editors: Hemingway either has one M or two. Can't be both. And "dieing" doesn't mean to change the color of something. Excellent book, though, and a lively read.

In this, his second book, Biesty again succeeds in both respects. The "orphanage" is this walled-in world where nothing is really as it seems. The main character, Artie, is presented as an almost tragically plain everyman and must confront this dystopian institution while conducting a school review for the state. Biesty switches POV between a handful of interesting characters and I found myself eagerly anticipating getting back into each character's mind whenever the story turned back to their POV. From the more straight forward approach of his first novel, Biesty switches gear here and constructs a Stephen King type plot line full ...
