"A wonderful and long book about love and friendship that spans three decades, a lot of it in New York City. And I love the cover too!"

Dualed was better than I initially thought it would be. Even as I began reading, I wasn't very impressed. But somewhere along the way I began to care about the character, and be drawn into the story. To be honest, there are still parts that I feel could have been explained better, such as why she truly becomes a striker (aka assassin). But by the end I guess it mostly makes sense, just would have liked a more definitive reason to begin with. The story takes place in a dystopian future in one specific 'city', though it seems larger than just a city. But, it is in one of those worlds where we really don't know much of what is beyond her 'city'. It is briefly described, but it is one of those situations where you wonder if this will eventually come into play or if the entire story will only take place within the confines of the 'city'. This first book only takes place within the city, but there is a 2nd book recently released, so I plan on reading it to see if there is anything more revealed.

Question
A friend told me I would love this game since I love playing Civilization, Banished, and all other city-building games. Can someone tell me more about it?

"A city deserves an auteur. A director laureate. New York has Scorsese. Paris has Truffaut. Madrid has Almodovar. I mean, Omaha has Alexander Payne. Los Angeles has Tarantino…"

"Boy comes to the city to be a great writer; life ensues. A panoramic view of mid-19th-century Paris, with all its literary, erotic and political intrigues."

I received this book free in exchange for an honest review.
[The Only City Left] by [Andy Goldman] is a nice mix of fantasy and dystopia. The characters were very creative and the setting was fitting. I liked how Allin's goal was to see the 'top of the world' but that changed as he learned more about his past and the city. I definitely would recommend this book.

Love detective books with some humor in them? Then sneak a peek at the historical mystery novel BAYOU CITY BURNING by D. B. Borton on my blog! https://alltheupsandowns.blogspot.com/2020/03/book-blitz-bayou-city-burning-harry.html

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
Houston, 1961: comedy meets mystery and history. It's hard to be hard-boiled when your biggest fan and worst critic is your twelve-year-old daughter, especially when she's cracking your case for you and defending you from the bad guys, along with sidekicks human and feline.

Houston is still a cowboy backwater, but Texas politicians dream big. P.I. Harry Lark is out to save the city for President Kennedy's moon mission. Dizzy Lark is out to save Harry.

"The story of a gigolo from New York City played by Joe Dallesandro. A film about the flow of desire and money. Produced by Andy Warhol. Nothing more to say."

"Another family portrait, sad and funny and sad. Oh boy. The only VHS tape I own these days. (But it's in a box in a garage in a city somewhere.)"
