Savages by Don Winslow
1.0
I read this because Sarah Weinman, whose opinion I respect, raved about it.
Turns out, it's not my cup of tea. Maybe I'm just a prude; this book comprises about 300 short chapters, all of which are about sex, drugs, violence, or some combination of the above.
Winslow is the anti-Elmore Leonard. The plot is similar to a typical Leonard (bad guys with good hearts vs. bad guys with bad hearts all chasing a big bag of money), but instead of rich characters and tack-sharp prose Winslow uses distractingly flowery prose to describe flat characters.
Truly awful.
