Violent, crude, and full of men, The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch is 700 pages of interesting plot developments and situational twists. The world is strange, full of eternal structures built by the species before man existed. The men are simply homosapien, I think. The only discrepancy I found was in the description of their facial hair as "beards." The book was almost too... shall I say "boyish" for me. Locke's girlfriend was away across seas. The only other girls were vicious twins and brutal whores. While I wouldn't have stuck through this book on my own, I'm glad I read it for the book club, which is tonight. I will update this if I find any other striking ideas.
3.23/5
