![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Of the 4 novels I've read, the structure of Savages is the least conventional, with lots of missing punctuation, odd sentence lengths, etc. There's lots of violence and other action involved, which seems to be a trademark of Winslow's work.It's taken me awhile to appreciate Winslow's writing style. The bargaining chip ends up being a young lady who's the shared girlfriend of the buds. The two buddies aren't interested, so the cartel decides to exert a little leverage. A Mexican cartel member gets wind and decides they want the action. Two SoCal buddies, one an ex-Seal and the other more of a pacifist type, develop a killer strain of marijuana from seeds brought back from an overseas posting by the ex-Seal. Savages is more of 'micro' view, while the other two are more sprawling in scope.Savages' plot is pretty simple. 'Savages' is another SoCal drug book, and along with 'The Power of the Dog' and 'The Cartel', goes a long way toward educating readers about the issues at our southern border. I'm going through his catalog in reverse order, it seems, and every novel is excellent. ![]() 'm late to the Don Winslow party, but I'm damn happy I finally found it. ![]()
