3.0 out of 5 stars needlessly confusing, February 27, 2001

This review is from: The Music of What Happens (Mass Market Paperback)

I consider John Straley one of my favorite authors. I pick up one of his books when I can't think of what else to read, because I know I will not be disappointed, but this time he failed me. He's a fine writer and his descriptions of the down-and-out life in Alaska are right on the money, but I found the plot in this particular book to be needlessly confusing. Poor Cecil is confused enough the way it is without having to wade through the conspiracies in this one. But any book that starts with the line "It was early spring when I was released from the psychiatric ward" can't be all bad.
