A review by stevenanteau
Every Man a King by Walter Mosley, Walter Mosley
4.0
The good
-Never eye rolling
-Great writing throughout, lots of emotion and description in every paragraph
-Just enough action and intrigue
-Lot of characters that carry over from the previous book
-Introduction of new characters that have me thirsty for part 3 and where they may go
The bad
-There are some real eye-rollers at the way characters always seem to have some extravagant safe house in just the right place full of weapons, tools, liquor, dogs, whatever is necessary
-Like the last novel it ends with a quiet conversation where the bad guys are embarrassed by some never-heard-of plot point
The so-so
-Because it's a series I'm not dying for part 3. The characters are the draw and I really love them
-But not every character from part 1 has as prominent a role in part 2 (Mel)
-There are 2 plot lines and I was more interested in the B plot than the A
Overall I read the book in 3 days, I love this character despite how goofy and cliche it can be, and the writing is top notch.
Waiting for the third.
