A review by dundermifflin
The Lonely Witness by William Boyle

2.0

The best thing about the novel is the tour of parts of Brooklyn most of us who live outside the borough will ever see. In fact, I wish the publisher had put a map on the front and back board and flyleaf of the area covered. Or two pages, with a fold out, at the front of the book. It became a real drag going to Google Maps to get a sense of place. Come to think of it, I think the author did a poor job making it possible for the reader to know just what the places were like.

Made it 3/4 of the way through the book and while walking my dog I thought, "Why are you reading this? Who cares about Amy, her father, Dom, and anyone else?" Then I put it down.
