roryalyward 's review for:
A Brief History of Seven Killings
by Marlon James
This book is in two halves. The first half - incredible, some of the best writing I’ve read this century. The second half - taxing with spurious reward.
I’ll break it down:
“ORIGINAL ROCKERS
December 2, 1976”
9/10
“AMBUSH IN THE NIGHT
December 3, 1976”
10/10
“SHADOW DANCIN'
February 15, 1979”
8/10
“WHITE LINES / KIDS IN AMERICA
August 14, 1985”
5/10
“SOUND BOY KILLING
March 22, 1991”
5-6/10
Overall: 7.5/10
