once in a while you'll read a book that is just 100% committed to its style and get drawn into it based on that. Blacktop Wasteland isn't really the type of book i normally pick up (i usually like books more along the lines of detective crime) but i couldn't put it down. i don't even care about cars! 

good, gripping heist stuff in here, with a heaping of no-nonsense southern noir. the descriptions are crackling. need for speed indeed.
