All Involved review

Author: Ryan Gattis

I have so many ebooks on my Kindle that I’ve had to resort to a lottery system to select my books. There are so many that I’ve bought when they went to $1.99 on Amazon and I just add them to my Kindle and then never read them. I’m trying to clear all these books out. So, I literally draw numbers to select my next book. My only rule is that if I select a book that is the middle of a series, I go to the first book instead. So far, that hasn’t happened. But I’m sure it will at some point, given the number of series I have.

So, when the lottery selected All Involved, my first thought was “oh, yay!” because I’ve heard some great things about this one. Written from multiple perspectives, told in the days following the Rodney King LA Riots, the reader sees events unfolding from a variety races. The stories are mostly told from Mexican gang members, but there are some Koreans who are simply trying to protect their property, a nurse in a hospital treating victims, a fireman trying to keep the city from burning down, and some people trying to keep their heads above the water of crime.

The best part about this book is when one person dies (spoilers, but really, it’s pretty clear this will happen considering the people “All Involved” in the gangs) the next perspective picks up with the friend of the victim or even the killer. You never lose the path of the narrative, even after death. I don’t know much about the author, Ryan Gattis, but he crafted an excellent book that felt very in the moment of the few days it covers. I really enjoyed this book. The race relations presented are still a part of our society today, so it has a double impact on the reader.

Minhas memórias são os únicos lugares onde vou rever qualquer uma dessas coisas, e eu me pergunto se é isso que os escritores devem fazer, reconstruir lugares em suas mentes - lugares que há muito tempo não existem mais, lugares que desaparecem, e eu me pergunto: se isso for verdade, se aplica também a pessoas que desapareceram?

Könyvkritika – Ryan Gattis: Közel a tűzhöz

Ha ki vagy éhezve egy olyan könyvre, amely cukormáz és emészthetőre csiszolt mellébeszélés nélkül mesél a káoszról, az emberségről és annak hiányáról, valamint a bűnben fuldokló utcák farkastörvényeiről, akkor Ryan Gattis könyvét neked találták ki. A könyv egy megtörtént eseményen alapszik: Los Angeles-ben járunk, 1992-ben, amikor bíróság felmentett pár öntörvényű rendőrt – a város pedig [...]
