Dogfight, A Love Story Audiobook

" Starting to read this 2011 Alex Award Nominee. "

" Matt's brilliant...and I'm not just saying that because he married one of my great friends from high school and we have become friends...he really is brilliant. "

" I liked it - a completely new story, and characters so very real. A very slight part of my enthusiasm may come from my current infatuation with Brooklyn (though the book takes place in Queens - I felt a connection). I recomend it. "

" 3.5, but parts of this book are so good. "

" A New Yorker transplanted to Minneapolis, writes a New York story through and through. A hapless drug dealer, a botched robbery, and a dogfight to welcome his brother home from prison. It all goes profoundly wrong. Great descriptions. "

" Enjoyed reading this for bookclub. There were definitely some interesting characters. "

" Definitely an entertaining and quick paced story. I didn't connect with any one character but I still felt like I knew each one and understood their struggle. The plot was good, at times funny and the ending left me satisfied. "

" A really good book that is filled with flawed characters that you care about and by the end, you all want to know more about them. Just a glimpse of life in Queens. "

" I really liked this book, surprisingly. Even though some of the content was difficult to read (drug use, violence, dysfunctional family relationships, and a dogfight), the story was interesting and kept me engaged as a reader. There was plenty of action and the characters were easy to follow. "

" It started out strong but failed to keep that momentum. Somehow I lost interest as soon as we entered Tariq's perspective. "

" Though not of a content I would generally read, the novel was well done. "

" An unfortunate title for a surprisingly good novel. "

" Well written and entertaining but I didn't really like any of the characters so it was only three stars for me. "

" this book gave me some Junot Diaz and Raising Victor Vargas vibes. the second half of the book is a bit darker and the ending falls a little flat but this book was a nice little surprise. "

" not quite fortress of solitude, but well written story. "

" What a great read! I loved it. The energy and humor felt very authentic, not only of NYC but of that year (1992) in the city. "

" There were some great characters in this book. I liked how the author would even take a break from the main story to give the background story on some of the lesser characters. There were a few things I did't like near the end, but I'd have to write some spoilers to describe it. "

" This is an author to watch. "

" An amazing debut novel written in a smart-mouthed 'it is what it is' New York way. Loved it. "

" Original. Parts of this book were very good, but thought uneven. Overall, a solid 3. "

" This is my book club book, and I'm excited to discuss. Someone in my book club knows the author, which is why we picked it. I didn't love it, but definitely liked it. "

" Though not of a content I would generally read, the novel was well done. "
