Though I mostly read and review books from the YA genre and usually of the paranormal statue, I sometimes like to venture out and experience literature from different genre's. This is one of those ventures!
Danny Knight grew up poor in New York in the 1940's but finds a way to overcome poverty. Though not always legal Danny manages to live a middle class life on a criminal fund. Along the way he makes friends that stick with him through the years, and it is these friends that he turns to in his time of need .
Edward F. Smith has a way with words.
You can almost smell the food when the characters dine out, when he describes fragrances you want to drop everything a run out a buy a new scent. His phrasing is so descriptive that you can close your eyes and be in New York in 1940. It is this technique that I believe reels the reader in and holds their attention. This is a great read
