I
found McMillan's writing style hard to follow. A new chapter would be
in a new setting but that would not be revealed until the second or
third paragraph. There were some sentences and paragraphs I had to
reread in order to entirely understand them. I felt the narrative did
not flow smoothly.
I
found the setting of Boston nightclubs in 1937 was just not fun. I
did not like all the alcohol and sleazy characters. The main
characters, Reggie and Hammish, did not grab me and I had difficulty
really caring for them. And I do wish there would have been at least
a hint of Christianity included.
All
that being said, McMillan did a good job of the historical setting,
describing the buildings, the music, movies, musicians, etc.
My
rating: 3/5 stars.
