The Lies of Locke Lamora

 I won't lie, early on I was really not feeling it and almost gave up on this. I stuck with it though assuming it'd capture me, and it did. There are different perspectives (of time) and that's what really kept me in it because young Locke's life was very enjoyable. The setup for what goes on with adult Locke ends up being very worth it. Locke and his friends are a delight to be with and the situations they end up in our crazy to say the least. Not the star of the show but a close second, is the city itself. The way Camorr was described throughout the book made it feel more alive than most of the worlds I've experienced. So, despite the slow start, The Lies of Locke Lamora is a captivating and bizarre story that was well worth the read.
