Johnny B wrote this review Sunday, April 19 2009. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No“In my opinion, I would read this book over "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison any day. It is extremely well written in terms of readability. The author does use sophistocated vocabulary at times, but there is something else that sets it apart from Ralph Ellison's novel. Nathan McCall keeps you wanting to read on because the story is very interesting. On the other hand, when I read Ralph Ellison's novel it feels as though it is excessively dragged out and as though I am being forced to read it. He has unusually long sentences that I could do without. The book is written in the first person point of view, and I believe that has a lot to do with the readability. ”
