Cataract City: A Novel by Craig Davidson
2.0
I am not sure what to make of this book. There is a line in the book something to the effect of "same shit different day." Which is apt considering that the book pretty much ends the way it began.
There were some issues with some of the details of the book that made me wonder. Such as, how does a convicted criminal get across the board weeks after he is released from prison?? That just wouldn't happen. I think the words that best describe this book is gritty, violent and depressing.
Also, who really calls Niagara Falls Cataract City?? What not just call it Niagara Falls, since we all know that is where the book takes place?
