Use of Weapons

The bomb lives only as it is falling.

Very nearly a Did Not Finish for me about halfway through. Maybe it was my own circumstances at the time but it really felt like it dragged in the middle and I was getting frustrated with the alternating chapter narratives.

Whatever the reason, the latter half started to gel and gripped me right through to that crushing ending. I definitely want to give this a reread at some point, to piece the flashback details together.
