I am still trying to figure out what I thought of this book. I am not sure if I would have finished this if it had not been such a quick read. There were 290 chapters in 302 pages and lots of white space - so very quick. I have never read Don Winslow before so I don't know if this book is typical of his writing. I wish I knew more about his style because World Cat labels this book humorous fiction and I found nothing humorous in a book where there is so much blood shed. Some of the social commentary might be considered humorous, but I spent so much time being appalled that my sense of humor deserted me. This story is about a hostile takeover of a drug company. The drug company makes the best dope in California. Even the "good guys" are bad guys in this story. For me there were no sympathetic characters. I suspect that if you liked the movie Pulp Fiction (which I never saw) you might really like this book - black humor with lots of death. Since I like staying abreast of what our patrons read, this was not a total waste. But it will never make my favorites list. Since I am reading this for The Morning News Tournament of Books, I am now prepared to root for The Finkler Question during the opening round. Although I have not read The Finkler Question yet, it has a couple of things in its favor - it won the Booker and it is scheduled to go up against Savages. I want Savages out of the running as soon as possible.
