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.

Should have been better

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.

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.
