A review by sculptress
Surrender, New York by Caleb Carr

4.0

I am so glad that after years on my book shelve I have read this book. I am sad that it has received so many 1 star reviews. I however found this book although LONG. Very thought provoking, funny, intriguing and informative. It is obvious that the author is a historian and that helps to know when reading this book. This story of throwaway teenagers and the fate of a small group of them is a real whodunit. But on the way through the investigation you met some complex charcaters who educate you in mental and physical trauma, political corruption. American history racial issues, police issues even the history of the aeroplane then is used as an office and how and why it is there. I have read the aliens and the protagonist in that and the sequel also makes an appearance in this book. This book is so much more than a thriller/whodunit but you need time to give it all your attention. There were times that I could see the twists coming but that didn't spoil my enjoyment Thank you Celeb. I have one last book of yours to read.
