What a rush!

Reading this novel is a little like wondering whether you really need that next cup of coffee . . . it would taste so good, but you're on the caffeine edge already. There's tremendous forward momentum in Cinderblock from page 1 that just doesn't let up. The story segues from character to character, intriguing setting to intriguing setting at a breathless pace to a climactic scene that amounts to experiencing altered states of reality in the safe, sane refuge of one's own reading place. The "tribes" are especially well-delineated in short pithy characterizations that hint at whole different ways of being. Not a relaxing book, but it sure was fun
