Book Review: "The Drop" by Dennis Lehane

Sometimes you just have to read a good, contemporary novel just for fun.  This is one of them.  I liked it--like junk food. 

A bar in Boston is used as a drop for the Russian mob.  There is robbery, death and mystery.  The main characters are losers--all of them.  I didn't like a single one of them, and didn't get sad when any of them were killed.  I did like the dog.

The story moved well and entertained me, but the character development was fairly flat--but that might just be because I have been reading Tolstoy.
