Rezension zu „The Power of the Dog “
"* 'It is impossible in a few words to do [it] justice... It's a huge book, both in size and scope... A memorable and thought-provoking novel.' Sunday Telegraph * 'This puts even the excellent The Life and Death of Bobby Z and California Life in the shade... No one since James Ellroy has conveyed the morally troubled heart of the American dream with such savage aim, and Winslow cleverly adds a pointed political dimension to his saga. A future classic.' Guardian * 'Don Winslow is the kind of cult writer who is so good you almost want to keep him to yourself.' Ian Rankin * 'The first great dope novel since Dog Soldiers thirty years ago. It's frightening and sad, with a superbly sustained intensity. A beautifully compressed vision of hell, with all its attendant moral madness.' James Ellroy * 'A damn good read. If you've never read Don Winslow, start now.' Val McDermid"
Pressezitat
The Power of the Dog throws shadows a mile long. Fearless, humane, aesthetically fervent, it's also passionate, unapologetic, gorgeously written and unquestionably authentic. Dennis Lehane
