## Description

Savages : Winslow, Don: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: BIC (Best in Class) - Simply brilliant. Very different from his other books in style and from anything else I've read. I thought it might be a deliberate writing exercise, and if it was - pass with flying colours! Unusually for me I might even read it for the third time. PS I’ve been kinder than Don about the acronym!😂
Review: Compelling - Not his best (I think the Cartel Trilogy books are exceptional), but a good read. I think it would be impossible for Winslow to write a bad book. The style of writing is interesting, almost verging on a parody of his own writing! Compelling characters, and the suspense really builds up and keeps going till the very end.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Change of Pace and Style
*by K***R on 29 October 2012*

Don Winslow has a varied body of work behind him, a unique voice that manages to communicate complex ideas and exposition in a smooth, clear voice one moment then deliver hard and emotional setpieces the next. He can be meditative and thoughtful about the criminals and damaged protagonists that populate the worlds he create. Savages is a distillation of all that and all the better for it. With younger protagonists and terse pacing, Winslow makes Savages into a smooth and intense read, laced with a laconic humour and a slightly ironic, campy pace that makes the inevitable scenes of violence all the more visceral. It also follows the basic premise of all great writing - no one is an idiot, or to be precise, no one is an idiot for the purposes of narrative. The nihilism is followed through to the logical conclusion that surprised me with it's tenderness and poetry. I have long believed that crime fiction contains some of the most insightful and beautiful writing beneath it's gruff exterior and Don Winslow is clearly an exponent of that.
