"Out of the Easy" First Impresions
I began a new book called Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys. This is a story about a teenage girl named Jo living in the French Quarter of New Orleans in the 1950's. She has an interesting and tough life and gets no help from her mother, who is a prostitute living in a cathouse. She isn't all alone. The women in charge of the area and the cathouse named Willie looks after her and all of the other more intelligent people in the area. She had Jo live and work at a bookshop in the quarter where Jo and the owner are good friends. The Quarter is shaken up when news of a man called Cincinnati was coming to town. He was a terrible man who stole Jo's mothers heart. For one he was terrible and two, it was against Willie's Rules. If this wasn't enough a good man from Memphis who was visiting was killed on new years day in 1950. The quarter was crazy. This is how far I' gotten and I ended with Jo investigating the death of the man. So far I really like it.

Tod, this book seems very interesting to me as I am interested in the past and this book is set in the past. This book also stands out to me because it sounds like a mystery, and I always enjoy a good mystery.

ReplyDeleteHonestly, this book seems very interesting. I remember reading Between Shades of Grey, which is written by the same author, and I enjoyed it a lot. I'm reading a Stephen King novel right now but I might start reading this in the near future.
