I had mixed opinions about this book. At times I hated it and it was boring and wanted it to be over, but other times it was getting interesting and enjoyable. This was a genre I usually don't read, it was about Michael Flynn and how he is the boss of one of the biggest criminal empires.
It was also one of the longest books I've read and to be honest it didn't really entertain me that much. Although the occasional moments were it was good had deep moments and was engaging. the amount of swearing was kind of pissing me off though "fucking" was used in every other line, not even exaggerating.
The lives that these characters were living was described vividly by the author though:
"Her ankles were so painful, the shackles had rubbed most of her skin away, and she could actually see her ankle bones poking out, the metal rings that held her in place were covered with dried blood and hardened lumps of her skin, a constant reminder of her predicament."
This stood with me while reading this book.
Overall, I give it 3 stars.
