i loved his book! i read it in 24 hours, couldn' t put it down. the characters and their developments through the book are so enticing. a little graphic in parts but i think it adds to the rawness of the story. the ending... the ending. i didn' t expect it and it literally left my jaw gaping. one of my top 3 books of all time .

gritty story about a very small time conman in debt to a bookie and his efforts to get out that debt. i can' t say its an enjoyable read as much that what goes on is pretty grim but it is an absorbing one. the pacing is a little odd in that there' s a dramatic shift in plot direction midway through the book. the plot wasn' t predictable enough that i knew for certain was coming so even the inevitable climax had enough surprises. this is the second book by the author of stray dogs which became the m

this is a highly entertaining film that just misses being a pre - code era classic. doug jr. is a broadway columnist and tracy his sidekick in this comedy - melodrama told in wellman' s odd straight - ahead style. doug' s a winning hero, and frances dee perfect as a truly sexy, selfish bitch who could string anyone along. warren hymer is better than usual as a doofus who' s nonetheless fairly quick witted. tracy is a bit muted, but, as always, is a joy to watch. in this cynical world, the high road is not doing an expose of milk price - fixing. the wise - cracks are plentiful and fun, but they don' t quite jump up off the paper .

ieri, 4 agosto 2017, mentre sul mare di fronte a umago si stava alzando il sole, i turisti tedeschi si lanciavano ad occupare le sdraio in piscina come i progenitori nelle ardenne e l’impianto di condizionamento dell’albergo dava i primi segni di cedimento, alle ore 8. 25 circa l’urlo “è giunto il momento della vaccata letteraria” attraversava le mie sinapsi rese pigre dal sonno. è un appuntamento quasi irrinunciabile: terminate le prime e sospirate giornate di lettura compulsiva, generalmente appaganti, giunge il momento in cui la mia materia celebrale brama un testo di timbro estivo, uno di quei romanzi in cui volti una pagina dopo l’altra inseguendo un improbabile protagonista e rendendoti perfettamente conto che di quelle frasi fra meno di una settimana non sarà sopravvissuto nulla. la vaccata letteraria dell’agosto 2017 è stata “cose che capitano solo a los angeles” di john ridley. cose che capitano solo a los angelesil protagonista, jeffty kittridge, è uno sceneggiatore fallito che vive di piccole truffe ed espedienti a los angeles. presto – direi a pagina uno – scopriamo che deve un sacco di soldi al ras di turno (un mafiosetto dal nome improbabilmente letterario, dumas) e che ogni suo tentativo di estinguere il debito va incontro a risultati rivedibili. è l’occasione per dare il via a un romanzo ricco di elementi che contraddistinguono la vaccata letteraria: risse e rumori di ossa infrante, spari inevitabilmente indirizzati alla fronte (e relativa disgustosa descrizione degli effetti), sesso a capitoli alternati. ma – mannaggia a ridley – il romanzo si riempie imprevedibilmente di riflessioni sulla vita, sull’amore e sul destino che potrebbero persino essere profond, ma cavoli! no! io volevo solo una di quelle robe che leggi e il tempo passa e tra due giorni non ti ricordi un tubo, e invece il finale mi ha persino lasciato l’amaro in bocca. quindi ora non so se ho letto una vera vaccata letteraria o no. e mi toccherà approfondire. urltoken
