This is the most disgustingly salacious story of homosexuality and depravity that it has ever been my displeasure to read.

It certainly makes me wonder as to the morès of the author.

Why didn't I stop reading it?? Good question! Likely because I have rarely given up on a book, regardless of it's content AND I hoped it would only get better. It didn't!!!

graphic but immature description of pornographic acts throughout with a very thin story line. Awful

Retrato magistral de la ancestral obsesión por la riqueza, el sexo y la ambición desmedida de poder, Depredadores narra la temeraria vida de un huérfano que crece en la agitada Nueva York de los años treinta y acaba entrando en el poderoso mundo de los negocios internacionales.
