Rezensionen
Touched von Walter Mosley
Well-written prose and an interesting protagonist who's been "gifted" by intergalactic beings with extraordinary powers to accomplish a task that's developed along the way. The premise is intriguing and the plot moves the story forward relentlessly. It's a short, but powerful read. Despite the heavy nature of the story there is some dark humor in it.
I enjoyed Fear Itself by Walter Moseley and spending more time with Paris and Fearless and their friends and enemies. I felt a little lost as the con game revealed itself but I was discovering it along with our heroes. Moseley’s carefully crafted world plays a role as well as the deep understanding of the worth of a Black man in that world. But Paris and Fearless have carved out a place for themselves and can even use the police to their own advantage now and then. Looking forward to the third book in the series.… (mehr)
Mosley on a roll. You can't go wrong.
