2.0 out of 5 stars Odd style, average story, 3 Aug 2008
This review is from: Caught Stealing (Paperback)
What a strange book this is. The writing style is quite bizarre and it makes it hard to read. There are no quotation marks for speech and it's written in a first person present tense kind of fashion.

The story itself is a fairly run of the mill story of someone getting caught up in crime and is fairly unmemorable. In fact far less memorable than the awful writing style. The hero is a completely unsympathetic character as well which doesn't help.

All in all, not a book I would recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes You Just Have to Root for the Underdog, 3 Mar 2009
By Mallory Smith (Tallahassee, Florida) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Caught Stealing (Paperback)
In a past life Hank Thompson was on his way to the Big Leagues, but a broken leg kept him from the Show, ruining his Major League career. So now Hank tends bar on the Lower East Side of Manhatten, dreaming about what could have been, then one day his neighbor asks Hank to watch his cat while he leaves town to visit his sick old dad.

Later that night a couple thugs come into the bar and beat Hank so badly that he loses a kidney. They give no reason for this and Hank hasn't a clue. Then his friends start to die and Hank decides that he has to get to the bottom of what's going on before something really bad and really permanent happens to him.

Mr. Huston painted Hank's portrait on his pages so well, that I felt like I was him. I hurt when he hurt, got mad when he did. That is truly a mark of a remarkable writer and this is a remarkable book, just remarkable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cat called Bud., 31 Oct 2008
By K. Charlton "Happy Dad" (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Caught Stealing (Paperback)
I bought this book because I had run out of sci fi books to read and the author Richard Morgan recommended it. I groaned when I opened it as there are no speech marks and it seemed to almost be a script. A quick scan and I thought I had sussed it as a pulp fiction rip off.
How wrong I was! It did take a while to get used to the style of writing but I got hooked and read the whole thing in a day and a half.
This book is a typical lot of things, meaning there is the wrong guy in the wrong place, lots of bad luck, criminals, violence, it's almost a cliché. But the story is so so good.
The man this cathartic spiral of doom revolves around Hank, is so realistically normal, boring and believable that it could be me. Or you. And when things start to get heavy the decisions Hank makes are ones the reader feels they would make lending a real good feel of empathy.
So when the ultraviolence kicks off its a real slap in the face and I found myself reading pages whilst holding my breath, and not interested whether I could work out what was going to happen or whether it was well written, just whether Hank (and the cat) were going to make it.
Great story. Give it a try. I ordered the next two books the night I finished this one.
