Devil Makes Three by Ben Fountain

4.0

I found this to be incredibly interesting. It has a great sense of place, and the main characters get pulled into difficult and dangerous political problems. They don't really do anything wrong, but there are no good choices. I find that makes for good tension and I enjoy it. I have some quibbles: it's not as interesting a reflection on being human as Billy Lynn, it can be overly descriptive which is tough in a long bppk, and some plot complications end quickly and conveniently.
