review 1: This is a great book. Reminds me of Daniel Woodrell a little. The characters are great. My favorite thing about the book is that you can't tell if most of the characters are bad people who are occasionally doing good shit or if they are good people who do a lot of bad shit. Probably the earlier of the two. They are definitely wounded in more ways than one. I will definitely read Whitmer's future releases. Rock solid novel right here...
review 2: Whitmers first book, Pike, was a great read. His new book is a revelation. Beautifully and brutally crafted this story of lost chances, regrets and a fathers search for redemption and forgiveness hits like a .45 bullet to the heart. The underbelly of an America few of us see is opened in all its grisly detail. With
... moreequal touches of cruelty, humor and wisdom, Whitmer has moved into the vaunted area of Woodrell and Sallis. This is a major American novel and one that lingers long after the last page is read. Highly recommended. less

Not for everyone. I hated the first chapter, then could not put it down.
