A review by joykirr
Deacon King Kong by James McBride

5.0

New York, 1960s. Sooo many vivid characters! I’m thankful to the parent that suggested this challenging (for me) book! I wanted to share every other page with someone who could appreciate the way James McBride composed his sentences. I didn’t know what I was getting into, and I had no idea the plot would be so convoluted, and I still don’t know why Sportcoat (the Deacon) shot Deems in the first place, but I’m glad I read this. It brought me hours of entertainment!
