Black Veil A Memoir

"[T]he opening chapters of this memoir evince...an energetic love of language and an eye for social detail....About halfway through, however, the book begins a steep nose dive. We come to realize that Mr. Moody has been slyly withholding information from us, and that many of his digressions are...free-associative riffs adding up to nothing but hot air....All of [this] suggests....that, halfway through, Mr. Moody abandoned the effort to transform self-indulgent fragments into something that might properly be called a book."Moody, Rick is the author of 'Black Veil A Memoir' with ISBN 9780316739016 and ISBN 0316739014.
