This title caters to my fascination with atrophy and destruction (e.g. History Channel's series Life After People).
- The narrator of the audiobook most likely usually narrates noir novel.
- This book is not a thorough exploration of Detroit. Instead it is the Detroit as experienced by a native journalist.
- Like with any person, LeDuff's life is composed of complex relationships.
- One of the more interesting story lines is how LeDuff's ancestors left their African American ancestry in the south and lived as whites in Detroit.
- This book is not a light read. It is depressing. There is violence, crime, corruption, and desperation. It is about Detroit.
