Day13- A Fictional Book


I love stories written in a first person; it's so much more effective (I think) at catching the perspectives of a character. Jim Thompson is AMAZING at this, especially 'Savage Night'. All the characters are bleak, cynical and so interesting. It's fairly violent and quite disturbing at times (potential rape scenes, violence against vulnerable women etc... urgh) but it's done in such a way that I couldn't help turning the pages. It's by far the best I've read of his works so far and he's generally a great pulp writer. It's fairly short as well so really worth checking out! I hope you do :) xxx
