Book Review: Noir
About halfway through Noir, sweat started pouring out of me like beer at a Delta House toga party and my gut wrenched hard as if a Mike Tyson body shot found home. I was afraid. I’d been here before. Like yesterday’s déjà vu redux.
I didn’t want to believe a book could be so cruel, like a dame, leading you on and leading you on, then leaving footprints on your stomach as she walks out of your heart. Heels. Always in heels.
I was having a good time. What if it ended with a hard fall just like that? I shook it off and read on into the night. I had to…
As I closed my Kindle app and the glow of my iPad faded off into the foggy night, I took a long last look back…It was done. And it was good. Very good.
“You. Yeah, you. Author Guy. We’ll meet again, we will. Soon.”
