A review by davidjordan
Bull Mountain by Brian Panowich

4.0

Bull Mountain is a fast-paced and impressively engaging thriller about a hillbilly mafia style family that builds a powerful and dangerous drug empire in the wooded mountains of North Georgia. I was thoroughly engaged throughout, and often found myself creating in my head the film version of this story, as the author has crafted such an exciting and visual story. As a resident of the setting in which the events of the book occur, it was easier than usual to visualize the story as it unfolded on the page. My love for the beauty of this area and the particular character of the locals made this book even more exciting than I had any reason to expect it to be.
The dialogue is realistic, the occasional humorous touches strike just the right note of levity, and the author's eye for the smallest descriptive details is extremely satisfying. I could easily be convinced to read more from Panowich in the future.
