Devil in a Blue Dress by Walter Mosley

This book begins with black and white ideas of righ and wrong, and somehow before the last page, the entire world around the reader has turned to a shade of grey.  The standard mystery genre format allowed Mosley to discuss social construction and morality in an entertaining fashion.  The over all ideas that create a person, specifically a woman, into a devil, and the plot twists, made this a book to be binged on.

Angelhead by Greg Bottoms

This book is not about a young man's drug induced schizophrenia, but the view of a younger brother watching the young man descend into uncontrollable insanity.  One reads the book, that is following the form of most memoirs about insanity, assuming there will be a hopeful ending for the boy with acute paranoid schizophrenia.  This book proves that sometimes in reality, there is no hope.

Non aquatic language mixed with a self help language relays the depth of unexpected duty and the pleasure there in.  The movement of events, though could be described as boring, is paced as such that the pages move rapidly enough for the book to be read in one sitting.  Ultimately, one leaves this book with ideas of self knowledge and how to relay those in an unknown and frightening world.

I Don't Mind If You're Feeling Alone by Thomas Patrick Levy

When capitalization meets dialogue meets profound in a prose poem it makes the inside of my ribs ache in the best way.  Sections move into sections without changing speakers, but really they could be different speakers which causes readers to consider if this book is about them.  Everything revolves around how the speaker and the characters relate to each other, to the point where I want to be their brother, sister, lover, and enemy.
