Surprised by how much I liked this. Interesting to read after "I'm a Fan" - two books that aren't really about the same thing buuuut kinda? Published exactly 20 years apart...
Also, now I think I'm primed and ready to read my first Philip Roth hahaha

SURE!
A fun heist novel that is wonderfully over-the-top in many ways (I read a couple sentences of a sex scene to my friends when they asked what I was laughing at), but provides a great backstory for the characters we met in the movie Heat. The heists, the action, the detectives and Chris, and a psychotic criminal (a la Waingro), all intriguing and loved the wild ride. There was one great payoff near the end, but then the book doesn't quite land entirely successfully.
3.5 stars, would watch this movie.

There's a lot packed in here, and so much to admire about it, but it still left me unsure... which I suppose is good? Going to have to mull this over before final review...
