This was the best book I read last year. It gave readers a visceral texture to apply to their mental surface images of the despair of the Depression years. It also introduced a boogeyman to haunt the dreams of the already frightened residents of shantytowns and Hoovervilles.
Others have commented on how this had a taste of Cormac McCarthy thrown in and I agree. The writer commands your attention and the fear he generates is earned honestly.
