i feel like there were some loose ends and muddled character motivations (so what did solomon clay want? what was going on with him? when did ricky learn to drive?)… also not sure about the whole weaponization of the homeless plotline and could have been a lot more (para)political in its message (the rise of the despised) but it was written with a lot of verve and humor with lovable characters . a fun read
