1.0
After 50 pages I was thoroughly bored - chapter after chapter of introducing characters. Frank Newton keeps popping up, but otherwise no plotline of any kind emerges. Half of the other characters are violently killed. Chapters average at 5 pages length - supposedly to give a feel of fast-paced suspense. I realised that it was just the setting of something bigger to come. It just wasn't very interesting. After 70 pages all the small-time crooks finally met up with Frank Newton, to discuss the coming job. "Aha," I thought, "finally something is going to happen!". 50 pages after that still nothing much. Nope, pointless violence, no plot, not for me!
