Die Erzählung ist zum Teil poetisch, die Kapitel kurz, die Perspektivwechsel schnell. Die Gesichte der beiden Brüder ist zeitweise brutal, bedrückend und sehr Männer-dominiert. Wie andere schon geschrieben haben, erinnert der Roman insofern an (Deutsch-)Raptexte. Die Komplexität der Charaktere liegt in dieser Erzählung zum Teil etwas unter der Oberfläche. Wer eine offene Reflexion über Gewalterfahrung, Erwachsenwerden zwischen Kriminalität und Armut sucht, wird vielleicht weitersuchen müssen. Aber dem Roman gelingt es dennoch diese Fragen im Leser aufzuwerfen, ist subtiler.
