A review by beforeviolets
Nicked by M.T. Anderson

At times profound, at times gloriously adventurous, at times macroscopic, and at other times so goddamn ridiculous with its humor I had to throw the book down and bury my face in my hands and say "I can not believe this", NICKED is a bizarre little historical heist story.

I'm not sure if I'm moved or satisfied – I am certainly still reeling over the whiplash of reading "taut body" in a titillating tone followed by the most unhinged dick joke I've heard in my life followed by the poetic closing moral observations of the narrative within the span of literally a page – but I had a good time.
