A nice read but the story is soooo slowed downed by flash-back into the childhood of the characters that it is sometimes frustrating. The flash-backs also can serve as justifications and appeared like a nice way to introduce something that should have been gradually introduced in the main story. Overall, I had a nice time, but I had a really hard time getting to know the characters and grasping their personality. I think it would suit a reader who doesn't care about characters that much better. 
I also felt like this book was very self-contained. The major plotline gets introduced rather late in the book, yet is over by the end of it. Which was kind of weird. To be honest, the pacing of the story in its entirety wasn't much to my liking (way too slow). But don't let this deter you from reading this book: you'll have a good time and you will be surprised by how out there some of the heists are. 
Definitely check the warnings though, there are some harsh scenes in there.
