3 reviewsThis was good. A fun little crime story that unfolds nicely and everyone dies in the end. Just the kind of fun summer read I ahve heard so many people talk about. It's not a literary classic, but good, good brain candy for sure.
Fun book. Good summer read.
Incredibly enjoyable read, even the disturbing parts weren't nearly as graphic as Paradais. I get why they compare it to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but I thought it was the happiest version of Y Tu Mama Tambien as you could get. I loved chapter 271!
