““Corea’s uncompromising novel abounds with ferocious scenes and unsympathetic characters. Michael, for one, is a flawed protagonist who makes at least one very bad choice. Others, like Billy, are thoroughly loathsome. Characters endure bullying, domestic abuse, and worse. The author maintains a somber but engaging storyline with blunt metaphors: “Michael’s skull was pounding as if someone had unloaded a pallet of concrete masonry bricks on his head.” Excerpt From: Roger Corea. “The Man Who Fell Too Far.” Apple Books.”
