Not my favorite Russo novel, but a good one nonetheless. The Risk Pool is two parts narrative and one part dialogue. Russo's narrative is stunning in its detail and style, which keeps the reader involved and interested. The story has a slower pace, which is the pace that goes on in the small town where it is set - Mohawk. It is very character driven which causes the reader to get involved with the story, and quite humorous. I found myself laughing out loud many times. Well worth the time to read.   hide
