A review by the_gare_bear
Fadeout by Joseph Hansen
3.0
I really enjoyed this novel. It's fascinating to me to read something that came out in 1970 that had gay themes in it.
The novel itself was a great story. I did find at the end of the novel things seemed to be a little cramped and feel like it was trying to tie up loose ends very quickly. The other couple of issues I had were also how the book was written. It seemed to jump a lot between scenarios and people when they take place so I felt sometimes it's hard to keep up with who you are reading about. I also felt like that there was A LOT of characters in this book and it was hard to keep track of them all and how they connected to the story.
All in all it was a good read and had me guessing. Just some minor tweaks would have me giving this book a higher rating.
