Book Reviews of Citizen Vince: A Novel
Book Review: A well-written novel.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's not perfect, and I kind of thought as a 4* read, but I don't have a specific reason for not giving it 5*. It's well written and Jess Walter has a great deal of evident talent. If you enjoy reading mystery/thriller/crime fiction this is a book that might not fit into your pigeonhole perfectly, but it will be a fantastic, thoughtful diversion.
Summary of Citizen Vince: A Novel
At 1:59 a.m. in Spokane, Washington?eight days before the 1980 presidential election?Vince Camden pockets his stash of stolen credit cards and drops by an all-night poker game before heading to his witness-protection job dusting crullers at Donut Make You Hungry. Along with a neurotic hooker girlfriend, this is the total sum of Vince's new life. But when a familiar face shows up in town, Vince realizes his sordid past is still too close behind him. During the next unforgettable week, he'll negotiate a coast-to-coast maze of obsessive cops, eager politicians, and assorted mobsters?only to find that redemption might exist, of all places, in the voting booth.
