Dodgers by Bill Beverly Book Summary

Dodgers is a dark, unforgettable coming-of-age journey that recalls the very best of Richard Price, Denis Johnson, and J.D. Salinger.

It is the story of a young LA gang member named East, who is sent by his uncle along with some other teenage boys—including East's hothead younger brother—to kill a key witness hiding out in Wisconsin. The journey takes East out of a city he's never left and into an America that is entirely alien to him, ultimately forcing him to grapple with his place in the world and decide what kind of man he wants to become.
 
Written in stark and unforgettable prose and featuring an array of surprising and memorable characters rendered with empathy and wit, Dodgers heralds the arrival of a major new voice in American fiction.

Gritty, Raw, and Dark. Good literature should make the reader uncomfortable enough to wiggle and squirm; it should also make the reader think. This is one of those books.

Beyond the Crimes. Why do people do what they do....In this brilliant exploration of gang life we are introduced to the context where choices are limited and regret is ever present.

Can't Explain It. Just need to read it or no matter what I write, you'll never understand why it's so good.

Award Winning, Of Course. A truly beautifully written book! Look forward to reading more by this author.

Kudos. There aren’t words enough to express my depth of emotion for this book. Outstanding.

Dodgers. This is a wonderful novel — a rich literary treasure of one young man’s coming of age. At times violent, at others tender. This is a story that will stay with me and resonate within me for a long time.

Intersting but Not Typical Genre. I voluntarily received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Dodgers is a dark, unforgettable coming-of-age journey that recalls the very best of Richard Price, Denis Johnson and J.D. Salinger. It is the story of a young LA gang member named East, who is sent by his uncle along with some other teenage boys including East's hothead younger brother to kill a key witness hiding out in Wisconsin. The journey takes East out of a city he's never left and into an America that is entirely alien to him, ultimately forcing him to grapple with his place in the world and decide what kind of man he wants to become. Written in stark and unforgettable prose and featuring an array of surprising and memorable characters rendered with empathy and wit, Dodgers heralds the arrival of a major new voice in American fiction.

A Most Satisfying Read. I almost never give a book five stars but this one ranks with my all time favorites, "To Kill A Mocking Bird", "Lonesome Dove", " Dances With Wolves", and a handful of others. I've always thought that the best thing you could say about a book is that you didn't want it to end, such was the case with "Dodgers", which by the way, has nothing to do with baseball. I sincerely hope there is much more coming from this author. Dodgers is a compelling story with fascinating characters, so well told that I found myself holding my breath while I read.
