Gripping tale

First I read "Ride the High Waves" by this writer, then I found out he's written a couple of crime novels. Neon Streets is really good. Good story, interesting characters, and it is chock full of things to think about. I recently moved, and after laboring to unpack, it was interesting sitting on a milk crate and reading this extraordinary novel.

Wonderful Read

This is an excellent book. Very good story, written in a gripping style, and hard to put down. The action builds and builds, but what I really like about Neon Streets is it is about something. Strong themes, and it made me think.

A VIBRANT AND VIVID VISIONARY

comparatively as innovative as the "Grapes of Wrath" of J. Steinbeck fame. an adventure that grabs you from the first crisp page till the last. a true book that is hard to put down without finishing. the characters truely come to life with a flare in this real world senerio dealing with topic's of homlessness in our own country. first you will laugh, then you'll cry, and after pacing the room for a while you will come to the conclusion that you must read it again.

Totally Excellent

What an incredible book! Where has this guy been all these years? He certainly didn't come out of nowhere, and be able to write such lucid, even lyrical prose. A wonderful exposition on greed versus homelessness, and all of the misery that a very bad system for housing and dealing with the poor seems to produce. I loved the character of Patrice Orosco, and "Red Dog," but Teddy O'Reilly and Oscar No Name really stole my heart! This is a great, great book! It needs to be discovered.

I loved it

Strongly evocative of my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. Strong actions sequences, and great dialogue. Very good puzzle too, kept me guessing on specifics. One of the best reads of the year for me.
