Helpful Score: 1

Don Winslow is a terrific author. Got started with him years ago with California Fire & Life, discovered Bobby Z recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. Winslow creates a "outsider" hero but gives him a personality that is unusual. In this book, Bobby Z is a contrast between a tough guy and someone who is full of self-doubt. The plot moves very, very quickly and the action is violent. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is that I wish it would have been longer, I would have loved to linger a bit more in the story and the brevity of Winslow's style didn't let me do that. A thoroughly good read!
