City on Fire was the first Don Winslow Novel I’d ever read and I can say I was impressed . From a fan of crime in film and book , It’s great to see that Winslow is able to merge the action of crime movies into a written format without losing any of the thrill factor that come from watching such movies in the big screen. If you’re a fan movies like The Departed or Goodfellas and want to have the same enjoyment reading a book this one is for you . Also can’t wait for the sequel to arrive !

Not something I would usually read, but I was commissioned to read a proof for work, and I was blown away about how this book made me feel. I really enjoyed it; for fans of gangland rivalry, the fact that there is honour among thieves, and those who question whether blood is truly thicker than water.
