Robbers Bewertungen

A lethal ride into America's heart of darkness - jaded, sordid, amoral and poetic. - Ian Rankin This is my kind of book. - James Ellroy If Elmore Leonard lived in Texas, his name would be Christopher Cook. - Kinky Friedman Christopher Cook writes like an angel, and he has certainly done his homework. He paints a perfect picture of the Texas low-life - which is a level of hell all its own - and even better, he knows how to love and savour his characters, This is a terrific book. I haven't enjoyed a novel this much in years. And I can't wait for the next one. - James Crumley ...fearless originality, in a lyric voice that sings itself raw. - New York Times Book Review Robbers is fabulous - Donna Leon A bullet-riddled odyssey of jaded rednecks in search of illusory redemption, this is a hell of a debut. - The Guardian ENTER HERE - Time Out This impressive first novel in the tradition of noir novelists like Jim Thompson is more than just a thrilier. - T.L.S. Among the very best - RTE Guide A remarkable book and an outstanding achievement - Mike Ripley, The Birmingham Post
