Another Alexis story set in Toronto, this time a lot of in the Queen and Lansdowne area. It is always interesting to see his portrayals of certain neighbourhoods I know. Not bad on this one. And I was very gratified to see the old "Green Dolphin" as a major setting in the book.
Main character is interesting. Storyline is a bit contrived, but holds together. There is just something a bit "stereotyped" somehow in certain aspects of the book.
Main character's friend, Ollie, has a very interesting passage where he explains why we should all worship chance instead of god. He, in fact, has a very interesting take on life in general - perhaps the most interesting character in the book.
An entertaining enough read, but I found the writing not at the same level as Fifteen Dogs.
