drfuriosa 's review for:
The Sisters Brothers
by Patrick deWitt
I'm waffling between a two and three star rating, because I think this book was a solid 2.5 stars for me. There's a genuinely interesting commentary about the nature of greed and the illusion of the American Dream, but it comes in about 250 pages into the book. The first 100 pages is a slog, and it takes a long time for the plot to really come together. What didn't help was that the book reminded me a lot of the film Hell or High Water. This wouldn't be a problem if I had read the book first, but because I saw the movie first, I kept making comparisons and that took away from the book's potency.
