Melde dich bei LibraryThing an um herauszufinden, ob du dieses Buch mögen würdest. Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. Die zweite Hälfte des Buches war definitiv stärker als die erste Hälfte. Diese hat mich auch mehr gefesselt. Das Buch ist thematisch und vom Schreibstil nichts was ich normalerweise lesen würde, daher hat es mich nicht vollends überzeugt. ( ) Ein großartiges Buch. Mit seinem manchmal an Lyrik anmutenenden Schreibstil erzeugt Don Winslow Tempo und Spannung. Der Schauplatz Kalifornien und Drogendealer als Protagonisten sind an sich schon interessant, aber es gibt keine Schwarz-Weiß-Zeichnung, Moral ist kein Thema - oder doch. Aber eben her sowas wie persönlich Ehre, Liebe, Zusammengehörigkeit, die in diesem Buch nicht in der Familie, sondern in der Freundschaft gefunden wird. Eine harte Story und mein erstes Buch von Winslow. Sicher nicht mein letztes! Zeige 4 von 4
But if this prequel isn’t as chill as “Savages,” it’s made funnier by the seditious spin Winslow puts on the romanticized 1960s hippie culture of peace and love and hard drugs. ... Mr. Winslow’s keen attention to drug culture isn’t going to keep readers away from him. He’s too damn good to be polarizing. His characters are smart about their self-interest. His dialogue is tight, laconic and razor sharp; if Elmore Leonard or Lee Child discovered surfing, they might sound something like this. And even when he shows off — he flits occasionally into quasi-poetry and ratchets up dramatic impact with brief snippets of screenwriting — he gets away with it.

"Published to coincide with the release of Academy Award-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone's major film of Savages from Universal Pictures in September 2012--starring John Travolta, Blake Lively, Benecio Del Toro, Uma Thurman, Emile Hirsch, Taylor Kitsch, Aaron Johnson, and Salma Hayek--this is the much-anticipated prequel to Don Winslow's acclaimed New York Times bestseller.In Savages, Don Winslow introduced Ben and Chon, twentysomething best friends who risk everything to save the girl they both love, O. Among the most celebrated literary thrillers in recent memory, Savages was a Top 10 Book of 2010 selection by Janet Maslin in the New York Times and Stephen King in Entertainment Weekly as well as Sarah Weinman in The Los Angeles Times and publications around the world. Now, in his high-octane prequel, Winslow reaches back in time to tell the story of how Ben, Chon, and O became the people they are. Spanning from 1960s Southern California to the recent past, it is a tale of family in all its forms--fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, friends and lovers. As the younger generation does battle with a cabal of drug dealers and crooked cops, they come to learn that their future is inextricably linked with their parents' history. A series of breakneck twists and turns puts the two generations on a collision course, culminating in a stunning showdown that will ultimately force Ben, Chon, and O to choose between their real families and their love for each other"--
