review 1: Sorta. I sort of read this book. I started it, but couldn't get into it. While I appreciate that the hero isn't "broken" in a "classy" way, like most are--many flawed heroes are something like hard drinkers but with a soft heart and good interior design skills, whereas Clark's comes from the not-so-pretty poor, rural South and still hangs out with his stoned, jobless brother--the writing stood in my way.
review 2: This is one of the best books I've read in a while. It is the story of two brothers raised by an awful and abusive father. One brother overcomes his past and the other goes to the dogs. Gates, a compulsive felon, kills a man in the presence of Mason, who is in law school. They decide to cover up the crime and Mason agrees to provide his brother with... more an alibi. Years later, Gates is sent to prison on serious drug charges. Mason says there is nothing he can do to help his brother because he has been caught on tape selling drugs to an undercover officer. Gates is so angry at his brother that he makes a deal with the DA to give all the details of the long ago murder except he says that it was Mason who did the killing. This was an excellent fictional work that the author says is a true story. I wasn't crazy about the deus ex machina ending, but it is an excellent book. less
