A review by superunison
Big Machine by Victor LaValle

3.0

Totally decent, 3.5 really. LaValle is clearly a gifted writer, by turns amusing, sentimental, and blunt. The plot is a little all over the place, and it feels a little like he's cramming too much characterization into the characters, oddly. He could use a little restraint, but he's still reasonably early on, career-wise, and it'll be interesting to see what does next.
