LeDuff really excels at painting a vivid picture of the setting and gets deep into many of the same issues that The Wire covered regarding Baltimore.

Finished this last week. Absolutely fantastic book. Reminds be a lot of the Forever War, both in terms of content and style.

I'd flip the last two. Couldn't really get into Sharp Objects.
Defending Jacob was really disappointing, IMO. Terrible dialogue, obvious plot points, weak ending.
I HATED The Dinner, but I'm probably in the minority on that.
