Finished It...

Rat Life
by Tedd Arnold

Rating: ☆☆

This novel turned out to be a disappointment for me. With characters that just weren't all that interesting, and a mystery that grew stale, this book just didn't work. Arnold makes some interesting points regarding Vietnam veterans and the ages of those who served, but there isn't much else of interest here. His overuse of exclamation points was maddening and almost insulting to young writers and readers. I'm puzzled as to why this book won an Edgar Award.
