This book perfectly captures the feeling of the Denver I've known and loved for so many years. It's a strange comfort to be so intimately familiar with many of the story's settings, knowing very well how Kari might feel while headbanging at the Hi-Dive or browsing records and books at some old favorite haunts. Maybe that makes me biased, but the rich setting is so integral for me. Wurth's protagonist, hell, most of the characters, are relatable and realistic. While Kari's journey can verge on the absurd at times, it lends charm and interest to the story rather than detracts.
