ReviewsWinslow, whose work includes a dozen of the finest crime novels written in the last 20 years, displays all of his strengths, including propulsive narration, compelling characters and a tight, staccato writing style, in Broken, a collection of six remarkable novellas., Don Winslow can hold his own with the best of crime fiction's elite: Mario Puzo, George Higgins, Elmore Leonard. He's a bard of the bad guys and City on Fire is his most relentless book yet. You gotta have it., With the passing of Elmore Leonard a few years back, it's now safe to proclaim Winslow America's greatest living crime writer. His consistency is matched only by his creativity, his talent exceeded by his ability to surpass himself time and time again., Winslow's epic slow-burner, full of richly layered characters and tender personal struggles, bubbles to an intricate, exciting climax. Crime fiction fans will eagerly await the sequel., A master of thrills shows his range, and his bite . . . [Winslow is] a writer from whom others can learn the ropes., Exhibiting a remarkable range, [Winslow is] just as good at sprints as long distances, is as adept at mimicking screwball capers as mobster movies, and can charm as well as chill. . . . A dazzling display of versatility, this set of novellas shows Winslow to be an author who has hit his prime., This completely immersive opening act signals a trilogy in the offing that will possess all the power of Winslow's celebrated Cartel novels., Pure genius! Nobody can bring such grit and such heart to crime fiction as Don Winslow--and with such a unique and compelling stylistic voice. This sprawling novel, populated with breathtakingly real characters, will grip you from the first page and never loosen its hold, and that remains true long after you've turned the last page. And what a delight that this is the first of a trilogy. Can hardly wait for the others!, A blistering novel filled with anger and bite. . . . Plenty of pain for the characters, plenty of thrills for the reader., This is an outstanding sextet in which-- praise be! -- 'love and loyalty trump the law.' It is fast, furious, and very funny.
