The Bottoms by Joe R. Lansdale
4.0
This is Joe Lansdale paying homage to Harper Lee's [b:To Kill A Mocking Bird|29008550|To Kill A Mocking Bird|Harper Lee|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1582303449l/29008550._SX50_.jpg|3275794], I reckon. And, as you'd expect from him, it's a solid offering. It's most definitely a depressive read as it digs deep in mankind's darkest side - hatred, that is, the sort of hatred based on the amount of melanine one was born with - but, at the same time, it's weirdly uplifting.

Anyways...I KNEW IT, HA! I fucking knew, from the very opening pages, who the culprit was. So,
Spoilerwhen the perpetrator looks straight in the eyes of the main character, revealing himself,
in the momentous apex of the closing chapter, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow & chuckle.
