Article Out Of Books The Sweet Forever (D.C. Quartet #3)

Another good read by Pelecanos. I like the way he tracks the development of his characters and DC over the years in his books. But the story never really changes--the streets are mean and even the heros are flawed.

George Pelecanos writes for The Wire and David Simon raves about him so he's been a 'to-read' for a while. I've finally read a few of his novels and this is my favorite. He writes about DC, the part that feels a lot like Baltimore, and this book, unlike his later ones, isn't strictly a crime novel. The backdrop of the book is the 1986 NCAA tournament - the year of Len Bias - and there are great thematic connections between the frenetic pace and unpredictability of the tournament, the 1980's

It feels odd to review a novel 13 years after its publication, but as I'm working my way through George Pelecanos' extensive catalog, I guess it's bound to happen. This is yet another example of his ability to take an incident that is just a part of life in a major city, a traffic accident, and create a masterful story about what really happened and its repercussions.I won't go into the plot, which I'm sure you can glean from the product description on this site. What I like to do when I review

I rate Pelecanos novels as 4 and 5 star books not because they are great literature (though they are better than you might guess), but because they are such page-turners. Once I start to read one, it is seldom that I have not finished within 24-36 hours, and badly need some extra sleep.If you have never read one, be forewarned that there is a good deal of course language, and usually some fairly course sex. They are raw, but I have always felt that this isn't done to gain attention from the

As a longtime resident of DC, and a fan of The Wire, this Pelecanos novelthe first I have readwas not as good as I had expected. The characters are very well drawn, but the narrative is a bit too sparse, with too many curious choices for me to feel satisfied. For example: as much as I'd heard about this occurring against the backdrop of Len Bias' last NCAA run and his death by cocaine overdose, the novel shunts any mention of the latter to the very final pagesif you didn't know what happened,



The best Pelecanos book so far, it benefits from an absence of a true, single protagonist. The ensemble cast, without anyone getting really close to being a clean cut good guy, keeps the story moving. Pelecanos had often succeeded in drawing realistic characters but he has been equally consistent in ruining them with a forced redemptive ending, which made no sense from a character standpoint. This book bucks the trend, the redemption seems earned.Self destructive Dimitri Karras; bigoted,
