I love the authors movies (Bone Tomahawk, Cell Block 99, Dragged Across Concrete) and this reads just like those. It's a bit of a slow burn but it's never dull, great characterization and it's brutal as hell (seriously, some messed up shit in here). Loved it.
Probably my least favorite Zahler so far. Feels a lot more underdeveloped than his more recent output.
Nevertheless, still an easy 5 star and one of my top 10 for the year.
Zahler has skyrocketed to the top of my favorite authors list this past year and a half and I'm gonna be super sad after I finish ‘Mean Business on North Ganson Street' and have to sit and wait for his next novel.
