A review by dburley37
The Winter of Frankie Machine by Don Winslow

mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

This book starts strong and ends strong. The first third of the book is all about character development. This was masterfully done. The heart of the book explains how the main character got to his present situation and then there is the climatic finale.
