A review by ragingcardboard
Cari Mora by Thomas Harris

3.0

Positives:
-I enjoyed the characters in this, they were interesting & had a nice little criminal family vibe
-Cari is kind of a bad ass lady, which is fun
-the villains are super icky and evil
-i enjoyed the flashbacks to the past which helped develop the characters.
-this book goes by FAST, this is essentially non-stop action from beginning to end. I read this all in one day.

Negatives:
-this felt too short. it really would have benefited from like 100 more pages. some of the story elements were never really explained (like the ten bells thing) or at least not explained to my satisfaction
-the story moves at a super rapid pace (likely due to it's short length) and it was sort of overwhelming at times
-none of this is really believable, you have to practice some suspension of disbelief here

Notes: there is a lot of graphic violence in this story, so be forewarned. Overall, I quite enjoyed this one. I like how Thomas Harris writes, and he's basically an autobuy author for me. While I don't think this is his best work, I still liked it a lot and was happy to add it to my collection.
