A review by holmstead
Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin
3.0
At my local library there is a section that highlights the staff's picks. As I perused the list, this title caught my eye. After reading the short review from the staff member, I decided to pick it up.
I think I was looking to find a gem to start the new year off, a little too much of an expectation. This was a sweet albeit slow read. Larry Ott is a character I may ponder from time to time. I think his backstory and troubling times are what touched me the most. Nothing else really grabbed me. So as I stated before, I had higher expectations...and minimal satisfaction, through no fault of the author or story. It just came into my hands at not the best opportune time.
So take this review with a grain of salt. One day it might find its way into someone's hands ready to receive and praise. :)
