A review by servemethesky
Big Machine by Victor LaValle
5.0
I can say with confidence that this book is unlike anything I have ever read before. Typically when reviewing a book I can list off a whole slough of others it reminded me of, but Big Machine is unique and stands in a league of its own.
Cults, angels, voices, drug addiction, mass murderers. It's not what I usually read, and you rarely find all these topics in one book. The best part isn't the subject matter, though, it's the incredible voice Victor LaValle has crafted in Ricky Rice. It's funny, it's compelling, it's honest, it's raw. The characters in this book and the plot were both so riveting that I rocketed through this novel.
I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who likes suspense and weird shit.
