3.0
Nutting tells the story of a monster with a delectable prose that will make it impossible for you to put the book down until the very last couple of chapters. Shocking and distressing, Tampa is still a marvellous read, if only for the mastery of character building and narration that dominates most of the book.
Graphic: Death of parent, Death, and Sexual assault
Moderate: Drug use
