Run

This was pretty fast paced and the writer has a unique voice. For example: “that’s what he’s really saying to me through a night’s worth of cigarette smoke, drugstore aftershave, gutter rock guitar and the cheap talk of the Dauphine steak house, and that is when I hear the cough. It’s a nasty cough, the kind of cough that sort of stands right up and says: I’m a Glock.”

The book was so filled with gun references that I couldn’t run them all by Ken. Only one that I didn’t recognize at all, he said was bogus. Some dream piece.

It was written in present tense also and it’s kind of strange at first. There was a tad more violence than I thought might be necessary, like the wedding that turned out to be a literal bloodbath. show more And there were a few times where I thought that it was just nuts that Lane lived. Especially at the beginning when he first cottoned on to the set up and had to get out. But all in all, it was fiction and pretty enjoyable. show less

It's been a long time since I read this, but I recall it fit the bill at the time. I wanted a quick, beach-read, type of book. The action is very fast-paced. Think of the Crank movie series

This was a really good novel that started out one way, and ended a way that was very, very satisfactory.

Oh God this was bad. Very pretentious.
