A review by drewsof
Donnybrook by Frank Bill

4.0

3.5 out of 5. I'm tempted to rate the book higher, give it a full four stars (which I'll do here on Goodreads, for the hell of it) - but there's something stopping me. It's not the violence or the content - in fact, I actually rather enjoyed how many different ways to inflict pain or describe said pain Mr. Bill was able to deploy. I think it just was the maelstrom of characters and choppy structure that got to me. I wanted, of all things, just a little more cleanliness to the whole shebang - considering there's so much mess in the story itself. But gawtdamn this was a bullet crack of a read. I was shaking my head when I put it down - and laughing, too. It's as insane as all the hype tells you. I'd suggest taking the trip, if you're in the mood. You won't regret it, that's for sure.
