This is my first encounter with Don Winslow and if his other novels are anything like Savages, I plan to devour them all. Winslow's writing style is definitely one that people are going to either love or hate. It is a style that has been attempted by many but rarely pulled off, often becoming annoyi...
This was just ok for me.I have been on this kick lately, where I want to read the book before I see the movie. Well this is one of those times where the book is supposed to be better than the movie...I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm guessing it's better than this book.Don't get me wrong; all th...
I've never been too impressed by people who need slang, clothes, and things to advertise their cool. I'm probably more tolerant of it now than when I was younger, because it's kind of cute to see people try on and discard personas like underwear. I guess I'm tolerant, less judgemental, more relaxed....
Easy to finish because the pacing is (thankfully) very fast. Difficult to get through because it was like listening to an obnoxious try-too-hard spinning some wishful fantasy about nymphomaniac rich girls and white guys from the suburbs making it big in the drug trade and then righteously shooting u...
I was a little worried, at first, about the obnoxious California acronyms but it turned out to be a pretty good little read. Fast paced and engaging. Actually found it very amusing on a few occasions as well. Which is always good. I could have done without all the instances a phrase or word was ...
Gripping, compelling, completely un-put-downable...I'll run out of superlatives to describe this thrilling, tension packed roller coaster ride of a story. I zipped through this in a day because I absolutely had to find out:how,what,where,when,and will they/COULD THEY be so flippin lucky to come out...
Ben, Chon, and O.... a dynamic trio, all very different in personality, and belief, but sharing something in common: their bond. They would do anything for each other, including taking on a Mexican drug cartel to rescue their precious O. This is one of those books where the title describes it perfec...
Ben & Chon are two Southern California dope dealers who manufacture and distribute some of the most potent pot available. Ben, a Buddhist and Chon, a gun-toting ex-US solider run into trouble with an invading Mexican drug cartel. When their mutual girlfriend, O (short for Ophelia), is kidnapped - ...
Like a great rock album - fast, loud, doesn't outstay its welcome, and a whole lot of fun. The opening page gambit is going to either hook you or push you away - go with your instincts because you'll be led in the right either way.A more profane, Rock 'n' Roll kind of review at Raging Biblioholism:...
