This is possibly the worst book i've ever read. I made it halfway through and just can't want to finish it.
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I received this book from LTER. Hard book to read, I actually picked it up a few times before committing to finish it. It’s very well written, but quite sad. Great character development, and really gives you a sense of the immigrant experience in Chicago.
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.The title is not a lie. This novel illustrates how difficult it is to escape the cycle of poverty. It's heart-wrenching, but I'm glad I read it. I kind of missed the main character for a few days after I finished the story. I really didn't want to leave his side. Bonus points for a main character with a disability. Read if you like classical music.

Noirs are about people who realize that following the program will never get them what they crave. So they cross the line, commit a crime and reap the consequences. Or, they’re tales about seemingly innocent people tortured by paranoia and ass-kicked by Fate. Either way, they depict a world that’s merciless and unforgiving.
If the guy gets the girl at the end? Not noir. If you are telling me a slice-of-life, or hard-times story? Not noir.… (meer)
