A review by donifaber
The Book of Daniel by E.L. Doctorow

5.0

This book was so good, it made my teeth hurt! What bumped it up to a five for me was the scene/analysis of Disneyland. I particularly appreciated Doctorow's use of different levels of recall to increase the realism. At a pivotal moment, the protagonist zeroes in on the details of a peripheral character, while at another moment, he can't recall what number of school house he attended.
