Best book I've read in ages
|
Not quite 5 star, would have given it 4.5. First Willocks book I have read and wont be the last. Picked up in the library after reading on-line reviews of his other books. For grim, brutal action laced with dark dark humour and fleshed out weird characters you can't beat this. A real page turner. Missed out on the five stars because of the last chapter which is pure terminator style mayhem and carnage written in a differing style to the bulk of the book, without humor and intrigue. Also felt there were a few loose ends which would have been satisfying to know more about, eg Grimes early meeting with the fat man, and what happened to the fat man after.
Minor points and looking forward to the next.

Twisted Willocks

Another grim and brutal book from Willocks, with wickedly dark humour. If you liked Green River Rising, you'll like this one. If you didn't, don't buy this book. A real page turner, as with the other books by Willocks, but not to the standard of GRR.

brillant! the best willocks book yet. a bloody, violent tale of obsession,revenge and honour. fast paced and ferocious like a 300 pound boar. imagine hemmingway, raymond chandler, frank miller and john woo getting together to write a (post)modern hardboiled noir and u come close 2 how great this is. hollywood where are u?. just buy it.
