Dialogue heavy in the best possible way. Fast paced and engaging writing style. Focuses on themes of regret, fate, and morality.

Interesting how this ended up being a reflection on US violence, Vietnam and World War 2 in particular

I really wanted to enjoy this book more than I did, but I found the story quite hard to follow at times, this made it a very slow read. The fact that it had no speech marks threw me off from the get go, but after that initial surprise I started to get used to it, however the story itself was still quite hard to follow. Although, the parts that I could understand were very good and so I will be watching the film to try and get some a better hold on the story. Overall I’ve been left feeling very conflicted about this book.

this book centred around a man who has stolen money made by drug dealers so although it doesn’t specifically mention drug use graphically there are many mentions of drugs and implied drug use>
