A review by andrewgraphics
Crooked by Austin Grossman
3.0
As always, Grossman's writing is good: descriptive, well-paced, etc.
However, since this is a first-person narrative told by Richard M Nixon, a lot of his very public life is told from his point of view as if we all know the details, so some info is glossed over; because of this, it would help if there were footnotes giving the historical info, or if it was actually written out within the novel.
And finally, after a very promising beginning, the ending sputters thru its final pages and trails off without a proper denouement.
