A review by conniejoy529
47 by Walter Mosley

3.0

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this one. I went into the book not really knowing what to expect and I was definitely thrown for a loop. I've read Walter Mosley before and he's an excellent author. His writing style flows really well and I was really pulled into the story and read it in almost one sitting. While the story was definitely interesting, as I was reading it I was constantly trying to figure out where he was going with it. Like what am I supposed to be taking from this book. And often times I found myself disappointed when it didn't go the way I hoped/ thought it should. I think by the end I did understand what he was going for. You definitely see the growth and transformation in 47, the understanding that life can be what you make of it. But at the end I was still left with so many questions. I don't know if Mosely plans to continue this story but if he does I'd definitely want to read it.
