Bad things happen

It seemed that the plot changed every other page and I could not keep up with the characters or learn enough about them to be interested in what happened to them. By the end of the book I still couldn't figure out why anyone did anything to anyone else. Not the best crime novel I've read. I think the main reason I didn't like it was because nothing in here was very realistic.

The characters' names were too difficult to pronounce to read over easily; perhaps Loogan would have been better as Logan and Waishkey as Walsh, Wrentmore as Wentmore, etc.
The plot was so complicated that after finishing the book I still wasn't sure about who did what to whom. I tried to backtrack but that didn't help. As a first novel, Dolan shows promise. He just shouldn't try to get so many "twists" into one story.

terrible book dont read really boring i read it and it was super boring.

Bad thing always happened but it is up to us yo handle it properly.

Awesome

ok

does this realy happen

Just good.

A decent read for a debut novel. Written by a local author, Bad Things Happen is set here in Ann Arbor as well as some other nearby towns. This alone makes it a fun read, as well as the character descriptions: the book is cast with a group of people so literary minded that you can easily picture many neighbors and acquaintances as stand ins. Not bad.
