Media Reviews
Savages will jolt Mr. Winslow into a different league...[his] most boisterously stylish crime book, his gutsiest and most startling bid for attention....full of wild-card moves....its wisecracks are so sharp, its characters so mega-cool and its storytelling so ferocious that the risks pay off, thanks especially to Mr. Winslow's no-prisoners sense of humor....The Winslow effect is to fuse the grave and the playful, the body blow and the joke, the nightmare and the pipe dream. --Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Savages is Don Winslow's best book yet--a wickedly funny and smart novel, with a ripped-from-the-headlines story that gets your pulse racing as the action unfolds. Razor-sharp plot twists, a cast of ruthless antiheroes, and of course, Winslow's superb, adrenaline-fueled prose make this scorching, drug-infused thriller an addictive and entertaining read. --Janet Evanovich
A spellbinding, tour de force that is utterly impossible to put down. Savages is, bar none, the finest novel I have read in years. --Christopher Reich, author of Numbered Account and Rules of Deception
Wake up people--Winslow's the real deal. --James Ellroy on The Gentlemen's Hour
Edgar nominee and Shamus winner Winslow...dispenses short chapters that drive his plot breathlessly forward. He also serves up plenty of savage wit....Riddled with bullets and splattered with blood, Savages is not for the squeamish, but it's a must for Winslow fans. --Booklist, STARRED REVIEW
Spare, clipped expository prose and hip, spot-on dialogue propel this visceral crime novel from Winslow....setting the stage for the violent and utterly satisfying ending. Winslow's encyclopedic knowledge of the border drug trade lends authenticity. --Publishers Weekly
An ultra-lean, stoner thriller....It packs a dynamic plot, sentences dripping with ``baditude'' and a singular way with language....Winslow's writing has the vigor of action painting....[his] command of vernacular is fabulous, his eye for detail sharp....Winslow's insights into drug wars are provocative, his descriptions of marijuana tantalizing. --Carlo Wolff, The Boston Globe
