The Pimp
It took me a while to understand at first if the book really was good. I wondered if all the intelligent and descriptive wording was just fluff, or poetry. But then I realise that the scene I'm reading, is a guy going shopping with one of his, employees, and yet I'm incredibly entertained.
The story has it's intense moments, and the main character goes through his fair share of excitement, but when he's not, it really doesn't matter, it's still easy to be enthralled by the way the author writes.
For a book titled 'The Pimp', it is incredibly well written, and quite sophisticated. It feels like a crime film that takes its time, and is all the better for it. It's slow, but is as far from dull as can be.
If you have an interest in crime novels, or are thinking about gaining an interest, I would absolutely give 'The Pimp' my recommendation. And based off this book alone, I would say you'd be well off picking up any of the novels by Italian writer Giorgio Faletti.
