Low Town by Daniel Polansky
3.0
Mini-Review:
3.5 Stars
If I had to describe the book with two words, it would be atmospheric & colorful. The author did a great job of creating a grim setting and many different shades of ill fortune, drugs & violence. The small moments of kindness, joy and caring stand out in sharp contrast.
This was a story where I enjoyed the journey more than the end. I felt the ending was a too short and not well fleshed out for all that happened before it. I like Warden and wish he wasn't so broken. It doesn't seem as though the world and experiences have broken him as much as he has shattered himself into conflicting shards that will no longer fit together.
