A review by anderson65
The Last Thing He Wanted by Joan Didion

2.0

Very eliptical writer who makes me want to concentrate and stay with her. Challenging style! This is not a book to lay down for a day or two and return later! I had to review to understand where I was, what was happening and answer the question, "Who are these people?"

I do appreciate her device of "may or may not have...". An imprecise memory like mine perhaps? Written in the need-to-know style of a CIA agent. The whole thing does come together in the final pages.
