Cataract City: A Novel by Craig Davidson

4.0

This was chosen by our local library as the book to read this year; I enjoyed it. Wonderful, lively connections to so many arenas - amateur fighting, being a kid on your own, dog racing, and urgh! just needing to get out of this town. Uses plot well, an easy read. I found the specific textual references to "Cataract City" within the book a little heavy handed; although the city figures prominently in the story, it stands alone well and doesn't require the explanation. It wasn't too regional, which I had worried a bit about initially.
