The writing style at first made me think I wasn't going to like this book but Jesus Christ does it pick up.
I could write an essay on the writing of this book. My only gripe was starting out but other than that holy shit

This plot is certainly for some, but just didn't hit for me. The writing style was witty, clipped, and didn't waste any time with anything at all fluff or unnecessary; lots of strong craftsmanship in the thrill department. There were quite a few times I chuckled out loud at something, in a good way.
If you like the movie
PS: Did not like the Latina mystic/tarot reader stereotypical stock character; it seemed like a joke about the way these things are usually solved in movies, but it just didn't land with me.
