Amazon.com One Day in the Life of Jason Dean
My review -
This
book will no doubt lose readers from the start due to its uncompromising use of
‘bad’ language. I hope they will not be
deterred from reading what is a very emotive story. It sets the scene for a man who is an
enforcer, a hit man, for a gang boss. He is tough, not afraid of violence, but
almost has a ‘secret life’ in that he is fond of literature and loves
Shostakovich. He has a surprisingly
cultured outlook for a thug. He is also
obsessively concerned with buying his daughter Sophie a birthday present.
This
is a moving account of a man on the brink of desperation. If you can take the style of language you
will be moved beyond belief by the content.
I found it a totally gripping read.
