review 1: I found this trilogy challenging. I read it in fits and starts over about 15 months. It was very violent, especially the first 2 parts (novellas?). The last was the most satisfying, possibly because there was more believable character development. The writing was excellent throughout, as I expected from Woodrell. The grittiness lightened a bit, especially with the last part, definitely my favorite of the trilogy. Now I wonder what happened next to my buddies in St. Bruno. RIP, Mr. Woodrell, you left a respectable body of work.
review 2: The Ones You Do is the last of the trilogy, and centres round John X Shade, father of the Shade brothers and his flight back to St Bruno with his young daughter, pursued by the killer Lunch Pumphrey. More relationahip orientated... more, with less action, it's a melancholy tale of a life heading to a messy ending and the effects of that life on his family. Different to the first two, but equally stark in it's portrayal of a man whose past choices finally catch up with him. less
