What follows is a strange tale in which Art tries to get to the bottom of the murder he himself committed. He soon learns that he is the only person alive who cares about the woman.

Amazing book! Ardin caputres the life of small town America like no other
Amazing book. Very well written. Impossible to put down. The ending was a real surprise to me too, which I always appreciate. Ardin captures the life of small town America like no other author does. There are many references to Tom Waits throughout the book. Ardinâs humorous way of writing makes a deeply sad story about regret a lot more digestible.
The down side of karma
The Way Down by Arden Lalui is a rather dark but intriguing story. We've all heard the upside of the fate/Karma philosophy - through all the bad things you went through, you were always coming to this good place. Eat, Pray, Love is all about that positive reinforcement. Well, The Way Down looks at the other side of that equation - for some people, their karma is just bad; no matter how they try to resist, they were always going toward this bad place in their lives and there's no escaping it.
Dark, yes, I warned you, but if our future is set, why does that mean it's always toward improvement? I don't have a lot of patience with cynicism for its own sake, and no time for cruel, ugly or vulgar stories, but this is a tale of decent if flawed characters caught and struggling against the direction their lives seem to be taking them.
Perhaps it is whether we believe in a set fate, bad or good, that makes it so? Could we change it if only we would believe? Lalui leaves this question open as we follow his main character down the chosen path - but who, exactly, chose it?
The only flaw in this thought-provoking book (if you're okay with a little darkness) is that the philosophy at times becomes repetitive. A bit of editing would fix that.
