While I haven't yet read Nothing Personal and I agree about
Starr's development, books hit readers in different ways. Is
Lights Out a better written and structured book? No doubt.
But Tough Luck worked for me because I know those guys and
those streets and Starr did a really good job of bringing
them to life. The other thing I really appreciated in Touch
Luck was that Mickey was allowed his doom with a smile and a
nod rather than a knife or going out a window. Yes, Starr
worked that with Lights Out but not in the same way for me.
Obviously I'm a big fan of his now and I'm not deriding his
other work at all. Tough Luck just hit me in a real
way.
