RaveCriminal Element... this is a great book ... I enjoyed the prose immensely, and the author’s command of dialogue is evident ... The book felt, to me, like a grittier and more serious Joe R. Landsdale/Hap & Leonard novel. The writing is superb, and the story is tight. There is a strong message on acceptance and personal evolution, but that message does not drown out the story―and storytelling is where Cosby excels. I think Razorblade Tears is going to be a hit this year, the novel deserves acclaim. I recommend buying this one.
