Don Winslow's latest novel pits young California drug "entrepreneurs" against a powerful and ruthless Mexican drug cartel. The language is totally contemporary and the format has short fast-paced chapters that keep you reading. However, there was too much graphic violence for my taste. In fact, another review I read said, do not read on a full stomach. That being said, there have been many exemplary critical reviews of the book, and I understand oliver Stone plans to make the movie version.
