Review: Better editor = 5 stars
Rating: 4 out of 5

There are a few typos, and the author could use a better editor, but don't let that stop you from picking this one up. RJ, whose psychic gift is knowing how people will die, goes from child coal miner to train-hopping hobo, joins a circus and...well, the rest is just as interesting but I won't spoil it for you. It's worth the trip out of the coal mines to the streets of NYC, through the Great Depression. The protagonist, RJ, makes his choices and makes no excuses. RJ's talent isn't the focus of this book. The author uses it to give RJ more dimension, keeping this from being just another Horatio Alger tale as we watch RJ fall and rise and fall and rise again. Totally worth my time.
