I found this book through an Audible ad. After reading the details, I gave it a try. I am very impressed. I much enjoyed the story, and Adam Lazarre-White hooked me in from the get go. You will do yourself an injustice if you dismiss this book because you do not typically read stories by black authors. Hearing the point of view of the characters added to the story for me; I am so glad I took a chance. I will read another by Cosby, and see if it can keep up.

First off, the narrator for this title is different from books 1 and two. After getting used to him, this one is hard to take. When did Angel become a Latino? The narration may be OK for you if this is your first Charlie Parker book, but it was hard for me to take. I was a little lost on this one, since I skipped book 3 (it;s not available as audio book and I chose not to go Old School by actually reading it), so the Faulkner story line was a little lost to me.
As other readers mention, there are several subplots and story lines in this one, which can make it difficult to keep up if you don't give full attention while listening, as they really are related to the story.
Overall, I give this one a 3, hoping book 5 brings the value back up.

I have not seen the movie. I enjoyed this story. Kept me going right up to the end. There were really no slow parts, although it does take you a minute to figure out who's who from the start.
