review 1: Busted Flush Press is a home for crime fiction of the hard boiled variety and this book by two of its favoured writers showcases this genre at its very best. It tells the story of two young gangsters starting out on the streets of New York; Bruen tells Nick’s story and Coleman tells the same tale through the eyes of his pal, Todd. The dialogue is terse and snappy and in fact the whole book is dark and spare. It’s so well done that I found myself re-reading certain passages just to savour quality of the phrasing. I loved it!
review 2: This short book was just too much - violence, messed up families, etc. I really like Coleman's other books. Don't know why it got such high ratings by others, I guess at its core is the friendship of two guys, and their twist... moreed relationship. At times I was confused, not sure which character was on, and I am not sure what happened at the end. I won't go into that here, I think it leaves one hanging a bit. Not my cup of tea. less
