Hard to put down. His ability to pull you in is inescapable. The sentences melt in your mouth. Natural and direct, like you’d expect only a perpetrator of a life full-bore to drum up after having met a million faces and shared a million more words. Big fan. Falls in with the others I’ve read from him.
