Have never read Doctorow--think I felt intimidated! It was wonderful. I ate it up like candy and also was intrigued by the true story (but could not find a nonfiction on topic in our library system--will look again) The real characters are interesting anyway, but then Doctorow got into the mind of Homer in an extremely creative way. Even though I knew the ending, the whole novel was suspenseful. The way Doctorow wrote the ending...I was awe struck and I had to stop and just think about the whole story.
