Savages: Book summary and reviews of Savages by Don Winslow

Media Reviews

"Starred Review. Edgar nominee and Shamus winner Winslow drive[s] 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

"Spare, clipped expository prose and hip, spot-on dialogue propel this visceral crime novel from Winslow..." - Publishers Weekly

"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
