The Lies of Locke Lamora

4.5 Stars.

Great writing. Amusing characters. Good story.

The beginning was a bit slow, but once I got used to the structure of the book, it became quite enjoyable.
Loved the characters - almost all of them were rather memorable and distinct.
The plot was quite interesting and kept me guessing. There were happy moments and there were really really sad ones. I loved both.
The writing style is absolutely amazing (imo). The author is able to paint a beautiful picture, using beautiful (and foul) words, without confusing the reader. And he is FUNNY! The dialogues actually made me chuckle on multiple occasions.

I would say the ending was a bit underwhelming to me, but it was by no means bad.

I highly recommend.
