"Savages is the book of my generation . . . nothing short of
revolutionary, a flash grenade into the ineffectual heart of
Generation Y. . . . . solidifies Winslow's reputation as not just
one of the best crime writers working today, but one of the best
writers, period. Jesus Christ, this book." --Brendan Leonard,
January Magazine
"Savages is Don Winslow's best book yet--a wickedly funny and smart
novel, with a ripped-from-the-headlines story that gets your pulse
racing as the action unfolds. Razor-sharp plot twists, a cast of
ruthless antiheroes, and of course, Winslow's superb,
adrenaline-fueled prose make this scorching, drug-infused thriller
an addictive and entertaining read." --Janet Evanovich
"Savages will jolt Mr. Winslow into a different league...[his] most
boisterously stylish crime book, his gutsiest and most startling
bid for attention....full of wild-card moves....its wisecracks are
so sharp, its characters so mega-cool and its storytelling so
ferocious that the risks pay off, thanks especially to Mr.
Winslow's no-prisoners sense of humor....The Winslow effect is to
fuse the grave and the playful, the body blow and the joke, the
nightmare and the pipe dream." --Janet Maslin, The New York
Times
"A revelation . . . Every bit as savage as its title . . . This is
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on autoload." --Stephen King,
Entertainment Weekly
"A spellbinding, tour de force that is utterly impossible to put
down. Savages is, bar none, the finest novel I have read in years."
--Christopher Reich
"An ultra-lean, stoner thriller....It packs a dynamic plot,
sentences dripping with ``baditude'' and a singular way with
language....Winslow's writing has the vigor of action
painting....[his] command of vernacular is fabulous, his eye for
detail sharp....Winslow's insights into drug wars are provocative,
his descriptions of marijuana tantalizing." --Carlo Wolff, The
Boston Globe
"The stakes are extreme. . . . This is the story of love's
costs--and the acceptance of whatever that cost entails." --Randy
Michael Signor, Chicago Sun Times
"Winslow is a brilliant stylist, unflinching in detail, and his
books jab a fountain pen in the eye of anyone who can read one of
his tomes and state with conviction that crime fiction isn't
literature." --Jason Pinter, The Huffington Post
"Winslow's marvelous, adrenaline-juiced roller coaster of a novel .
. . is both a departure and a culmination, pyrotechnic braggadocio
and deep meditation on contemporary American culture."
--Sarah Weinman, Los Angeles Times
