City of God

Book Type: Hardcover

Not as engrossing as Doctorow's previous works. For those who like the enmeshing of religion and the evolving prose of Doctorow's style, maybe worth a read. But this book is nowhere as engrossing as Doctorow's "Billy Bathgate," and I would wholly recommend that book over this one. Characters in this book are not as riveting or seem as fully fleshed out.
