Where All Light Tends to Go - Likewise Book Reviews

"Rough times for the main character. I was really rooting for him the whole time. It reminded me of Winter’s Bone with just the struggles and sins of the father-type stuff. "

"Hands down one of my all time favorite novels. Heartbreaking in the best way possible "

"Where All Light Tends To Go is a drug. A drug you can’t live without, with a consequence that haunts.<br/><br/>This book(my second from David) is a “joy” to read. It hooks like a drug, gives incredible highs and addictive draw like a drug. However, where a drug tends to only lead to an ultimate defeat, WALTTG leads to victory.<br/><br/>If you need a violent, gritty yet beautiful light in your life that only southern noir can seem to deliver, then go where all light tends to go and read this freakin book. You think you’ve got this book beat, but that high beckons you to take one more hit. You read and shoot and devour more and more. As pages turn, the high gets better and better.<br/><br/>Within the last 5 chapters this drug went from a 4 star to a 5.<br/><br/>Thank you, David Joy, I’m officially addicted.<br/><br/>The perfect drug"

"Meth. Murder. A touch of love. Damn fine writing by David Joy."

"Powerful and Painful. Presents a raw and truthful view of a life that too many know but not enough realize. Stories that break my heart because they could be true are exactly what I need more of."

"Set in rural Northern Carolina, Jacob McNeely is a high school dropout who works for his father, a meth ring leader. <br/>The book is violent, but has a good story line."
