I picked this book up at the library after seeing a preview of the upcoming movie starring Tommy Lee Jones. Therefore as I read the face and voice of Tommy Lee Jones became a part of the book -- which might have actually helped me get into this.As others have summarized the story, it is way violent, brutal, depressing, and cold. However, there are some real jewels of wit, compassion, and wisdom scattered throughout. The one thing that made me give this a 4 rather than 5 was the sometimes too lengthy and detailed description of guns and weapons. I don't have a clue about one gun from the next; however, I'm sure someone more familiar with this would appreciate this.This is not my favorite book of all time, but I'm glad I read it. It's a fast paced crime/detective novel that is well written and has some places that are impossible to put down. I'm anxiously awaiting the movie.
