MY IMPRESSION:
==============
First of all: Those looking for action, hands off. Here no exciting thriller is offered. The book lives a lot more of the figures, as she describes Capps. There are broken lives, drunkards, the destitute and even though they had every reason to give up, they cling to life and their passions: alcohol and cigarettes, women and good literature.
I liked the novel precisely because really liked. I have previously seen the movie 'A Love Song for Bobby Long' and was thrilled. The story is in the book even before Lorraine's death, and describes the everyday life a little less romantic than it does the filming. Especially Lawson template is the same age as Bobby and similar notgeil what could perhaps not like many female readers.
Otherwise, however, an absolute buy recommendation for those who want to know more about Bobby Long more, the desire for a book on New Orleans and poetic nostalgia have. Also the other end had on me an effect similar to that of the film. Thoughtful grin I closed the book and thought: Beautifully.
