Helpful Score: 1

The City was the November 2017 pick in my online book club The Reading Cove, and for me, it was akin to a sleeping pill! I'm still yawning. I renamed it The Chore! It read like a rambling and disjointed contractual obligation book...or metaphor gone wrong.

Miss Pearl, the City, Jonah, his parents and the whacky crime ring...none of it made much sense amidst the plethora of jazz musicians, and intermittent historical events info dumps.

Honestly? I'd have to recommend a re-read of Koontz's Intensity a hundred times before reading this even once.
