## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A beautiful story and funny too.
  

*by I***L on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2024*

I loved this book. Sportcoat is a wonderful character; a flawed human making mistakes but also making a difference in his community. He’s joined by a colorful cast of characters including drug dealers and Italian mobsters as a series of near misses almost does him in. It’s more of a fable about what is truly valuable in this life and how, because of our own blindness, we often miss it. I found it a joy to read and the ending was quite satisfying. Sportcoat is now with his dear Hettie and, at least at this point in time, 1969 or thereabouts, all is right in the world.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great character development and compassion.

Well written and a tour of different lives striving to do better in the face of societies’ ills and unfairness.

    Mobsters and addicts as people you care about
  

*by D***J on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024*

“The fact is, no one in the projects really knew why Sportcoat shot Deems—not even Sportcoat himself.” (p3)This novel has a lot in common with McBride’s more recent “The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store”; any reader who enjoyed one of the two will almost certainly like the other. Both are compelling stories about the difficult lives of a diverse group of (mostly) lower-class folks struggling to get by. Both are sad and hopeful, tragic and humorous. The major difference between the two is the setting – “Grocery Store” takes place in a small town northwest of Philadelphia, while “Deacon” sets us down in the projects of New York City.And what a difference the setting makes! At first, I found it hard to relate to the characters in “Deacon” (murderers, mobsters, dealers, addicts), while the small-town folks in “Grocery Store” felt a little more comfortable and familiar. But here’s the thing. In both stories, McBride wants us to see the humanity in his characters and identify with their struggles. In “Grocery Store” it wasn’t hard for me to do that. But McBride pulled it off in “Deacon” as well: I recognized the murderers, mobsters, dealers, and addicts as people, found them interesting, and cared about them. I think you will too. Deep into the story, when you begin to feel it happening, it will startle you.
