A review by dsesana
Helicopter Heist by Jonas Bonnier

4.0

A surreal story, hard to believe it is based on true events just because it feels surreal that a group of people would plan, and execute, a heist that belongs in a Hollywood movie. This book can be divided into two parts, the preparation of the heist and the heist itself. You will have to be patient for some action, but once it is go-time, you will not want to put the book down until the end. There are a couple of characters in the book which feel added by the author to the story, like the old man with the dogs, and I still don’t understand fully what was the reason to have such a character in the book. In short, this book is a “true crime” book with certain deviations from reality, it begins slow but once it goes, it goes with a great mix of pace, intensity, and tension. Would highly recommend it, also because there isn’t much information on internet about this crazy heist.
