A review by moreadsbooks
Gravesend by William Boyle

3.0

Three & 1/2 stars, because while this did not quite make me laugh out loud at how perfectly it was crafted as did Boyle's other books (which makes sense since those other books came after this) the seeds of spectacular are all here & it is a pretty fine book if relentless bleakness and flawless dialogue is your thing. I get a real kick out of William Boyle as a writer and I hope he continues to rock my world with his Brooklyn books for a long time to come.
