A revealing look at the underbelly of investigative journalism in Florida and how it chews up and spits out the reporters who write the stories. Dexter's book is character driven, and they all have flaws. A good read finely written. (  ) Stevejm51 | Nov 16, 2009 |  Excellent. ( ) aliastori | Mar 31, 2008 | Something haunting about this book. Maybe it's the dead on portrayals of flawed human beings. I read a review that said Pete Dexter's characters really stick with you, and they do. They're drawn in short but revealing strokes. I was left with the impression, however, that one of the reasons they'll stick with me is that so many things were left unresolved in their stories. They nag at me like the feeling that I forgot to pack underwear for a long trip does. (  )1  Iralell | Nov 8, 2007 | SeriousGrace | May 23, 2007 | Wonderful story, finely drawn characters, and great details about life as a "paperboy" (investigative reporter in Florida). Hard to put down, and I definitely did not want this to end. This is my third Dexter, and I have loved them all. I am now going to see if I can find his other three. -Jim 11/29/06 (  ) rmckeown | Nov 29, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
