This was a nice refreshing read, especially when seeing the parallels with the Trojan War.

No fue para mí. El libro más insufrible con el que me he topado

The Illiad by way of Providence, RI organized crime. Goes down smooth. Doesn't reach spectacular heights, but consistently engrossing.

Aunque los protagonistas tengan la profundidad de una servilleta, y llegue un momento en el que las muertes se suceden a la misma velocidad a la que sus personajes las olvidan, el ritmo que le mete Winslow a sus libros es imparable, y su final, agónico y amargo.

City on fire indeed

I had a difficult time following names simply because the were so many. They are truly family and prove that you take care of blood. This wasn't on my TBR list. I read this as a kindle challenge book. I wasn't disappointed however i wasn't excited after i read it. It did remind me to get an annual mammogram though. Lol

4.5 - as everybody knows, I don’t round up. Couldn’t shake the feeling that I really wanted to just watch this as a movie. It reads fast like a script. I miss Pam already.
