Savages by Don Winslow
2.0
Now this one, I almost quit about halfway though. I had a hard time following the many characters and plot. Once it got about half way, the characters stopped being introduced and described and the story began to go together more fluidly.
The chapters aren’t exactly chapters ( as there are over 200) and the book isn’t always written in sentences.
There’s lots of Spanish words randomly thrown in with no translation, only context clues. Even with taking 4 years of Spanish in high school and trying to learn more of the language through Babble a year ago, there were some terms even context clues couldn’t help me figure out.
The plot itself was lack-luster and really could have been any book about a drug cartel; nothing special here.
