Review # 1 was written on 2009-08-09 00:00:00 Timothy May BOULEVARD: Mr. G's New Orleans the 'hood' novel. For pages after pages his unconflicted main character was dragged through over cloned and boring vignettes of pre-AIDS heaven New Orleans life style. The story line and it's writing was not impressive, basically I could not wait to finish this book and get it over with. Probably it was Mr. Grimsley's own play ground back in his days. He might had known these types of characters and related to them, but he should have just kept them to himself.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-10-16 00:00:00 Julio Mendoza I've liked everything I've read by Grimsley. This might be my favorite. Seeing the seamy side of New Orleans in the 1970s would be delightful enough, but add the fact that you're seeing it through the eyes of a teen from a small town in Alabama who's come to the Big Easy to start life on his own. My heart goes out to the boy as I enjoy his life in a way he can't because he's living it.
