A short, violent, depressing trainwreck. Having read Mr. Cosby's two newer books, it was nice to see the evolution. I will admit I like the newer books better but this was still a strong read.

Fast paced and for someone who doesn’t understand cars at all I understood the get-away scenes. But felt character development was lacking and the end left me like “….okay?” Probably won’t read anymore of this authors work.

I was almost dreading this book. The title itself evokes nothing but unnerving misfortune and I am afraid it plays out that way. But this book is a gem. Crafted as a “heist/thriller” genre book, it is so much more than that. The care and meticulousness in crafting the character of Bug, mean that this is a novel that succeeds in exploring the search for one’s “true self”. Not quite a debut novel but almost. An extraordinary one at that.
