Resumen del Editor
In this masterful work of neo-noir, William Boyle expertly captures the grit and desperation of a neighborhood in flux, and spotlights the neighbors who find themselves caught up in the crimes of the past.
Some worship him and some want him dead, but either way, tensions run high when “Ray Boy” Calabrese is released from prison. It’s been 16 years since Ray Boy’s actions led to the death of a young man. The victim's brother, Conway D'Innocenzio, is a 29-year-old Brooklynite wasting away at a local Rite Aid, stuck in the past and drawn into a darker side of himself when he hears of Ray Boy’s freedom. But even with the perfect plan in place, Conway can’t bring himself to take the ultimate revenge on Ray Boy, which sends him into a spiral of self-loathing and soul-searching.
Meanwhile, Alessandra, a failed actress, returns to her native Gravesend after the death of her cancer-stricken mother, torn between the desperate need to escape back to Los Angeles as quickly as possible and the ease with which she could sink back into neighborhood life. Alessandra and Conway are walking eerily similar paths - staring down the rest of their lives, caring for their aging fathers, lost in the youths they squandered - and each must decide what comes next.
In the tradition of American noir authors like Dennis Lehane and James Ellroy, William Boyle’s Gravesend brings the titular neighborhood to life in this story of revenge, desperation, and escape.

Barely 30, Lynette is exhausted. Saddled with bad credit and juggling multiple jobs, some illegally, she’s been diligently working to buy the house she lives in with her mother and developmentally disabled brother Kenny. Portland’s housing prices have nearly quadrupled in 15 years, and the owner is giving them a good deal. Lynette knows it’s their last best chance to own their own home - and obtain the security they’ve never had. While she has enough for the down payment, she needs her mother to cover the rest of the asking price.

Historia
From the cow fields of Connecticut to the streets of San Francisco, Joe Clifford's Junkie Love traverses the lost highways of America, down the rocky roads of mental illness to the dead ends of addiction. Based on Clifford's own harrowing experience with drugs as a rock 'n' roll wannabe in the 1990s, the audiobook draws on the best of Kerouac and the Beats, injecting a heavy dose of pulp fiction as it threads a rollicking narrative through a doomed love triangle, lit up by the many strange characters he meets along the way.

Mitchell S. Jackson grew up black in a neglected neighborhood in America’s whitest city, Portland, Oregon. In the ’90s, those streets and beyond had fallen under the shadow of crack cocaine and its familiar mayhem. In his commanding autobiographical novel, Mitchell writes what it was to come of age in that time and place, with a break-out voice that’s nothing less than extraordinary. The Residue Years switches between the perspectives of a young man, Champ, and his mother, Grace.

Historia
It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

Dread and a kiss of chaos!
You feel the pain that sets this story in motion through the relatability of every character you’re introduced too. Beautiful.
Alan Carlson did a wonderful job giving these characters their voice!

Gritty Crime Story
This was gritty as hell, watching broken people maneuver around each other trying to make a life worth living. Everything is really bleak and depressing but really well written at the same time. And in the interactions with people who aren't as broken you can see a real dichotomy. Where there are people who just exist within their orbit briefly and move on with their lives while the broken people are stuck in a spiraling cloud they can't escape. For a story like that to be good the characters have to be good. They're tortured but they have to be enough to carry the weight of the story along. These do, these sometimes lost, sometimes loathsome individuals are developed strong enough that you can hate all of them and yet be a willing audience as they march along to the end of either them or their story.
It's a bummer, some of it might be upsetting, but I was there for all of it and it was quite entertaining.

It will appeal to young male readers
Conway swears to kill Roy Boy after he is been released out of prison after. Sixteen years before, Roy Boy killed Conway’s little brother, and surprisingly, and not only he repents but also has a deathwish that will make Conway incapable of killing him. Both start a downward spiraling journey that will affect everybody in the neighborhood.
I really liked the premises of this book, and the raw writing gripped my attention, but I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I were ten years younger and male. Most of the characters were young men with little aspirations in life and the wrong motivations. They were complex characters, and although I was not able to connect to them, I understand the appeal for some readers. I was disappointed at the poor development and inferiority of female characters, but I believe it is due to the masculinity reigning in the neighborhood, and the fact that the book was written by a man.
Alex Carlson did a wonderful job interpreting the characters and transmitting the vibes of the atmosphere created by Boyle. His New York accents just hit the right spot. I only have a small complaint about his interpretation of both main female characters, which sounded a bit forced. They were not the most brilliant characters in the book, but Carlson’s interpretation made them sound even inferior to how they were portrayed.
It was an okay book for me, but I think it will appeal to young male readers.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Emotional and heartbreaking
Sad story of revenge and regret. I found it to be very emotional and sad. To focus so completely on something very negative... To want something so bad that it takes over your whole life and everyone else watches your life pass you by. Two characters consumed by different ends of the same situation. I couldn't listen to this again. It was too sad. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

4.5 Audible Stars, Rounded up to 5, Yo!
I haven’t had a bunch of time to sit down and read lately and it has been bumming me out. Thankfully I have had a lot of windshield time and have been listening to a lot of good audio books. When this one popped up for review from the narrator Alan Carson, I jumped all over it.
Glad I did, because I dug everything about it.
Written well with well-drawn characters and a smooth rolling plot line. The narration flowed and Alan’s cadence didn’t miss a beat. An all-around a great effort and a very enjoyable work.

I'm West of the Hudson
This is a New York story so if you live in New York or have spent time in New York, this is the book for you. But being one of those oddballs stuck out in the hinterlands of the Midwest, there were just way too many New York references for me to understand and followed. Places, intersections, bars, restaurants were all specifically mentioned and meant absolutely nothing to me. I was lost most of the time. Boyle also jumps around from storyline to storyline with great rapidity so it, for me, was hard to tell which person, time, or place we were at.
Alan Carlson did a good job of the voice characterizations especially the New York accents but this one was lost on my staid old Midwest sensibilities.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this review voluntarily.

Just not very good
its language gives this book its promised noir-ish feel, but, at least for me, the characters are not very interesting. Neither is the plot, such as it is.
Alan Carson's narration is fine, except for his mispronunciation of the Italian dish braciole, a dish mentioned 4-5 times in the course of the novel.
It seems it would be an easy thing to check the pronunciation of foreign or foreign-derived words, but mispronunciations of this sort are fairly common.
