I'm about 2/3rds through the book, I think; just a few chapters into part five. Really enjoying it, and not only for the writing but feeling compelled to know what happens (or happened). I'm going to withhold effortposting until i'm done, but hopefully I'll finish it before the thread dies

I finished City on Fire the other night. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I suppose I feel the same as blue squares/mel about Amory; there is not much depth there and I wish there had been more. Nicky I didn't mind, I guess because I have sort of known the type. I was pretty interested in all the other characters and the coincidental aspects of the story didn't bug me. I'm not a super critical reader, though. re: tv/film discussion upthread, I remember reading somewhere that Hallberg intentionally styled the "episodic" structure of the book after shows like The Wire. Maybe it's even in that Atlantic article . . .
