A review by profbeards
The Hottest State by Ethan Hawke

3.0

I thought the pace of this novel was excellent (200 pages in about 3 hours). While it lacked serious depth outside of the narrator/protagonist, I felt that it did a decent job at times of representing mid-nineties angst at adulthood. It basically reads like every Ethan Hawke part/movie from the 90's, which is not all that bad. For a first novel, it is good. Not great, but good.
