Deacon King Kong by James McBrideMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Awesomely narrated by Dominic Hoffman, this was a good story about a varied community in South Brooklyn in 1969 witnessing the shooting of a drug thug, Deems, by an old guy a deacon, Sportcoat, in the Five Ends Church for seemingly no reason at all. As the reader delves into finding out the circumstances that led to this act, we meet many of those in the neighborhood, as well as the police, as leads are sought, witnesses interviewed. I did not really like/relate to many of the characters; I liked the story but found myself irritated MOST of the time with Sportcoat, Deems and Elephante.
