Brief Summary The Last Orphan by Gregg Hurwitz

The results seem mixed. On the positive side, he does a very good job in portraying how Evan begins to grapple with aging and continues to grapple with establishing emotional connections with others.On the less positive side, Hurwitz seems to be trying to add a sheen of literary seriousness by adding more stream of consciousness passages and by evoking The Great Gatsby and especially Heart of Darkness, with long references to a powerful man who weaves a mysterious spell amid fog, labyrinthine hallways and megalomaniac speeches. All this slows down the narrative. The greatest drawback of this reach for complexity, though, is the portrayal of Evan’s prime antagonist (Luke) as neither clearly good or bad. The resulting interactions between Evan and Luke are more like psychological drama than thriller, and therefore the resolution can’t deliver the emotional kick of the best thrillers.
