Four Stars

This was the first work of fiction outside of science fiction and fantasy that I thoroughly enjoyed. The hype for this book is well earned. Cosby's characters feel real and in the case of the book's main protagonist very relatable. Bug is a character that goes through high risk situations and the villains he faces are truly terrifying. The pacing of this book was the fastest I've ever seen. The action within this book is well detailed and thrilling.

I can only find issue with a few things. I know there are multiple points of views in the story, but at times there seemed to be frequent head hopping. I found myself only slightly confused by this. There was a clue towards the ending I figured out instantly which once I read to where it lead my eyes rolled.

Inconclusion, I can't thank Mr. Cosby enough for writing this book. It makes me want to read more crime genre novels. I highly recommend this book and give it four stars.
