Gripping, compelling, completely un-put-downable...I'll run out of superlatives to describe this thrilling, tension packed roller coaster ride of a story. I zipped through this in a day because I absolutely had to find out:
how,
what,
where,
when,
and will they/COULD THEY be so flippin lucky to come out unscathed??!

Great stuff, highly recommended. And now, do I go see the movie? I think yes because, come on, Chon is played by Tim Riggins...enuff said.

An excellent story, but the execution thereof drove me nuts. Fragments. Descents into script format. An opening salvo of acronyms. I found it all to be a bit too cute for my taste. I'm very interested in seeing how Oliver Stone translates what is an epic drug/caper story into film form.

I'm a little torn about this book. I love the punchy style, the way it carries the action. But...man. The characters. I can't even sympathize, and Winslow simultaneously sympathizes, idolizes, and reviles them. It's a little weird, and so I'm not sure how much it adds up. But the story is a lot of fun, so there's that.

This book read like chaos and ended with a scream and a crash. I'm going to get my hands on everything that Don Winslow's written. Savages is highly recommended.

¡Vaya salvajada!

Violento como la realidad misma del narcotráfico.

De fácil lectura.
