annarella 's review for:

City on Fire by Don Winslow
5.0

I never read a Don Winslow's book before, I had no expectations and was attracted by the blurb.
I got more than I bargained, in a positive way, as Don Winslow is a master storyteller and this story kept hooked.
There's something epic, there's action, there's great characters. And a fascinating plot, a sort of Iliade retelling in the world of Irish and Italian gangs.
I loved it, loved every page, the way he writes and how the apparently simple style of writing hides multiple layers.
i will surely read other books by this author, this one is highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
