I'm going to have to go out and read the rest of his books, in the hopes of finding a few more fictional people I love in this world :) ' - Mabel, The characters all have flow and meaning. The way it was written, jumpy all over the damn place, is perfect.

It felt completely hollow, like the words were purely there for shock value. Good pace, easy to read, characters you cared about. ' I actually quite enjoyed this book, despite the writing style (which would normally annoy me) and the extreme situations, it was actually quite entertaining. Don Winslow writes a fast moving and entertaining read. I read Dawn Patrol last summer and enjoyed it as well. Kind of a unique writing style but was a great read. ' The movie looked kinda silly but this was actually really good.

Hands down, best opening chapter ever! ' - Richard, ' An incredibly cool, hip style of writing. ' Quite raw, but I really enjoyed this read. Take a weekend to read this and then read the far superior Power of the Dog ' - Ben,

The last 50 pages should be enshrined in some kind of Fiction Hall of Fame. crazy intense story, but written with chill, nonchalant Laguna flow.

This is So Cal, sun drenched, neo-noir at its finest. 'Savages, to use the word coined by the author, has 'baditude' - that is, a bad attitude. O's abduction sets off a dizzying array of ingenious negotiations and gripping plot twists that will captivate listeners eager to learn the costs of freedom and the price of an amazing high. When they refuse to back down, the cartel kidnaps Ophelia, the boys' playmate and confidante. But they may have come up against something that they can't handle-the Mexican Baja Cartel wants in, and saying no is unacceptable. Part-time environmentalist and philanthropist Ben and his ex-mercenary buddy Chon run an independent Laguna Beach–based marijuana operation, reaping significant profits from an established clientele.
