A review by thegreekie
Savages by Don Winslow

3.0

Unfortunately, Savages is nowhere near the level of The Winter of Frankie Machine or The Power of the Dog, but it does appear to be Don Winslow's most read book by the simple virtue that there was a movie adaption. I liked the main characters well enough, but this book is a little bit on the short side and they lacked a bit of depth. Also, Winslow's doing some weird experimental writing style in this book and it sort of detracts from the overall enjoyment.

Plot (Story / Pacing / Ending): 4/5
Characters (Characters / Development): 4/5
Writing (Prose / Dialogue / Style): 2/5
Other (Enjoyment / Read Pace / Worldbuilding / Etc): 3/5
