OK, I’ll just say up front that if I had read Between the Bridge and the River when it came out in 2006, I’m pretty sure I would have loved it and written a rave review.

His signature wit and profanity, his cheeky observational skills, things that I love about him, were not put to a purpose here that I could […]
