Books Like This Should Stay In Print,

This review is from: The Kill Riff (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was disappointing only because I was so excited about reading it. It has a rough feel, a few useless characters and chapters that only delay you from getting to the good parts of this book. Despite it's many drawbacks Schow had created one of the most interesting characters in literary history, rock star Gabriel Stannard who "will not be a passive victim". It's a shame because it seems if Schow had a better editor or a better editorial eye for his own work this could have easily been a masterpiece on the level of a Patricia Highsmith novel.

Should have been better,

This review is from: The Kill Riff (Mass Market Paperback)
Interesting twist in final 3rd of book, but I had simply lost interest by then. More than a few portions of the book could have easily been edited out with no impact on storyline.

A really good read,
By "cybersplatt" (Monterey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Kill Riff (Mass Market Paperback)
David Schow's first novel just rocks. Very psychological and more a character piece than anything. Definately a must have for how to right a novel.
