Savages
by Don Winslow
Thinking about it, I liked this book a good deal more while I was reading it, than I do now that I'm finished. It's a fun book to read. At its best, the prose rolls right along. Rhythmic, choppy, endlessly witty, high energy. And that makes it an easy and entertaining experience.
Except when the wit gets forced and the high energy starts to become exhausting. Then there's just a vaguely ridiculous plot, characters who are shallow, adolescent wish fulfillment, and an ending that happens that way because why not.
Eh. It was entertaining enough. Just too caught up in its own cleverness to do much with the details of the story.
