Deacon King Kong
by James McBride
Fantastic, vivid characters and a time machine for New York. Wasn’t anything like I initially thought either. The back jacket made it seem like it’d be pretty intense with maybe a whodunnit aspect but, while certainly serious at times, it’s pretty gregarious at heart.
The levity pretty consistently present ends up humanizing every character, and the jumping around from character to character showing their intricate interconnected history made for an engaging read. I usually don’t like comedy much but the it is a natural extension of people being true to themselves, so I didn’t mind it at all.
Quite an interesting concept, showing how the event impacts everyone around it. Just don’t expect it to be too serious, or you may be surprised. Pleasantly, or otherwise~
