review 1: One of the best books I've ever read. Cadillac Man's jumpy writing style suites me perfectly. Imperfect grammar and punctuation, but only when it assists to get his point across more fully.The lines between suicide and indifference blend so thoroughly in him that his simple habit is to not look both ways crossing the streets of New York. As a younger man, his wife and child disowned him, and his urge to live hovers over just above the bottom of the barrel. Well written, with many insights into the life of the depressed and homeless (example: Don't EVER go to a NY homeless shelter at night). There is no one I couldn't recommend this book to.
review 2: I really liked almost everything about this book from start to finish. The only downfall was when Cadillac Man c... moreontinuously used the phrase "word is bond", it made me angry actually, that is how much I hate that phrase. The rest of the book was really written really well. The way the story was told made me feel as if I was conducting an interview with the author. The pace of the story moved well and had many interesting sidebars that shed light on some of the peculiar behaviors of homeless people I have previously seen. I definitely have a different outlook as to the way I consider a homeless person's situation. I wish more people were as kind and good hearted as Cadillac Man. The life of this man was at one time very difficult, I hope because of this book he made enough money to enjoy a more comfortable existence. less
