A review by jeffmauch
The Shotgun Rule by Charlie Huston

4.0

A gritty story about some somewhat delinquent teenagers involving drugs, violence, and their parents pasts in 80's lower income suburbia. I can relate a lot to parts of this story. I remember a bike being my main mode of transportation and how there's nothing quite like the friendships made with the kids in the neighborhood where you grew up. Granted, this is much more violent and dangerous and I can't say meth was really something I had to contend with in my younger years. I really enjoyed Huston's formatting and writing style, somewhat unconventional when it came to dialog. I'll definitely be looking into his other works.
