dark and dreary

Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 4 de diciembre de 2018

Joe Coughlin is a conflicted gangster in the 1940s. He’s killed a lot of people, broken a lot of laws, and spent time in prison, but, despite all that, he has a moral compass of sorts. He also has a nine-year-old son, Tomas, whom he will protect at any cost. The boy’s mother is dead, and keeping Tomas out of harm’s way is a challenge for a father whose “thing” is mob-like, especially when Joe learns that someone has ordered a hit on him. No one in Joe’s circle of baddies can imagine why anyone would do this, much less who would want him dead. This novel is very violent, but it has a soul in its own way, but I was disappointed in the ending. Also, Joe has taken to seeing a ghost of his childhood self, and I did not understand that at all. Is the ghost supposed to represent his innocence before he got caught up in the underworld? Certainly Joe does not reminisce about his childhood, which was far less happy than his precarious and exciting adulthood. I get that Joe is honorable in his own way and remorseful about some of the things he’s done in the past for the sake of his corrupt empire. He makes some difficult decisions that have devastating ramifications, and his rationalizations make a distorted kind of sense. He has to weigh his loyalties to longtime friends and associates against what is most important to him—Tomas. The plot held my attention, but this novel is just too dark and depressing for me. I like Lehane’s PI duo, Patrick and Angela, much better.

The right ending

An excellent book, well written and I will not comment too much to spoil the enjoyment of reading it. Just one or two points about the series: the Germans were not extracting oil from north Africa, this didn't happen until the mid/late 1950s....people in his books all 'Yelp' when shot and I would bet that the author loves or loved a young lady with a birthmark on her back.

A masterful follow-up that combines with LIVE BY NIGHT to make something greater than either book on its own

Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 22 de julio de 2016

A few years ago, Dennis Lehane published Live by Night, the story of gangster Joe Coughlin and his rise to power in the Tampa/Cuba mob. It was a fascinating take on gangster stories, one that hadn’t been told before, and it felt fresh and exciting in a way that many gangster stories can’t, simply by virtue of being familiar. But by the end of that novel, Joe was stepping away from the life, moving towards something calmer.

So it’s unexpected, in some ways, to have a sequel to that book. And yet, here we are. World Gone By picks up nearly a decade after the end of Live By Night. Joe is mostly a legitimate businessman, but serves as the consigliere for his friend Dion – his name still carries a lot of weight, as does his business sense and ability to make money. He’s trying to raise his son, Tomas, on his own. And he’s wary of the ongoing fight in Europe – as is everyone around him – not just for fear of the Nazis, but also for what it means for his business.

And then, through a complicated series of events, Joe finds out that someone is trying to kill him. And while he knows the date, he doesn’t know who, and no one seems to know why.

That’s about all of the plot you should know about World Gone By, which unfolds from there, following Joe as he seeks to figure out this threat on his life, protect his son, and maintain his balance between his past and his efforts to be a better man. It’s a rich plot, one filled with fascinating characters, shocking violence, infinite shades of morality, and no easy answers – in other words, it’s exactly what you would expect from Dennis Lehane, who is one of the great masters of modern noir. While Lehane could have made World Gone By its own book, making it a sequel to Live By Night feels appropriate – this is the outcome of Joe’s life, and the book’s theme – that, in some ways, this is the world Joe created, and one which he deserves – is all the richer for us having seen his ascent to the top.

More than that, though, to read World Gone By is to read one of the great modern writers at the top of his game. There are chapters here that feel like nothing Lehane has done before, and succeed beyond your wildest imagination. The book’s prologue, for instance, follows a newspaper writer as he notices some pictures from a society charity event a few months, and realizes just how many of those people would die in the months following that picture. It’s a beautiful, and oddly bittersweet, way to open the book, and gives Lehane a fascinating way to get into his story. We know that violence is coming; we know that these people – well, many of them – won’t survive the book.

And yet, that still doesn’t prepare you for what Lehane does as he transitions into the party and Coughlin’s perspective, as he sees a most unique visitor to the party. It starts a compelling, strange thread in the book, one that reaches its climax only at the very end, and one that feels not only like Lehane trying something new, but pays off in a beautiful, haunting way by the end.

Even with all of this said, I don’t think I’ve quite done World Gone By justice; I haven’t even touched on the nightmarish scenes with King Lucius, or the perfect relationships between fathers and sons that fill the book, or Coughlin’s complicated relationship with a local woman. Suffice to say this: when I finished Live By Night, I thought it was Lehane’s best book to date. Now, World Gone By elevates that book, working together with Live By Night to make a pair that’s more than the sum of its parts. I can’t recommend it enough; as it is, I was heartbroken to get to the end, and to realize that I had no more pages left.

Friend or Foe - Joe Coughlin can't distinguish them...

... any more. And thus he will pay a very high price to protect the only person that really counts for him over the last years: His son Tomas.
More than ten years ago the mob murdered Joe's beloved wife and left him alone to raise his baby son in the brutal mafian world that is Florida. Europe is divided now by the Second World War and the USA had to enter the conflict on the Asian front after the attack on Pearl Harbour. All that Joe really wanted, was to create a secure future for himself to guide his son into adulthood. So he left the activity of a Gangster Boss behind, and contented himself with the role as a "Consigliere", to help all the important Families on his and their turf to make as much money possible. Respected now for years by everyone as it seems, he is surprised to hear about a Contract for his killing. Joe starts to get nervous, to see ghosts and his calm life is more and more disturbed by actions he could neither foresee nor explain to himself . A war between all races, families and interests is unavoidable, and Joe - as always the middleman who only wants to maintain the very fragile peace - will have to make sometimes bad choices and act against his deepest convictions. Blood will flow, and there are traitors very close to our condemned hero. So Joe has to go the full mile - only to save the future of his beloved son Tomas...
This third book of the Coughlin series left me with a great sadness after I read it in only one night - breathless. Masterly written like its predecessors, it sadly fulfilled all my worst imagination. So many dead, betrayal, false accuses - only for what? Florida will never be the same again without a lot of its greatest protagonists - of the better or worse kind. Power voids will present themselves in the USA and in Cuba, too. And the Coughlin-story does not end here - I am almost sure. Because You cannot foresee what the youngest member of the Coughlin family will do, when he enters his adultness. He has seen too much blood and death to be not deeply afflicted by all what happened. I personally would prefer this "Coughlin Series" to be continued. And to read more about Joe's brother in Hollywood, too. ONE world may have gone by, but there are lots of others still to be discovered...

Joe never went soft about the killing ...

Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 20 de enero de 2017

I am reading this series, the Coughlin Series, so out of order. I started with LIVE BY NIGHT (Book 2) because I wanted to read it before seeing the movie (starring Ben Affleck, which, by the way, I enjoyed both). And rather than go back and read Book 1, THE GIVEN DAY, I decided I'd read Book 3, WORLD GONE BY. My reason being, THE GIVEN DAY deals with Joe Coughlin's father, and Books 2 and 3 deal with Joe. Anywho . . .

WORLD GONE BY takes place roughly ten years after LIVE BY NIGHT (Click HERE to see my review of LIVE BY NIGHT). Joe Coughlin has his hands full. He is still down south, in Tampa, doing his best to run an honest business, but out there is a bullet with his name on it, there is a rat in the organization, and Joe--he's seeing ghosts!

In WORLD GONE BY it all comes down to someone owing you a favor. Joe never goes soft. He has just never been about the killing. He never considered himself a gangster, just an outlaw. But along the way, did all of that change?

Not nearly as complex as LIVE BY NIGHT, but still an amazing crime novel, WORLD GONE BY seems like the perfect end to an amazing trilogy.
