Well, if you ever wanted to get into the heads of boxers, street fighters, underground fighters, "'roid ragers" etc, this book will take you deep into the underworld of fighters and it is not s pretty place. Davidson is a brilliant writer, you feel every punch, smell the blood and sense the danger and hopelessness. The descriptions of the run down neighborhood were spot on. Less so for me were the descriptions of the upperclass homes and their inhabitants, to me they felt cliched and is seems like they were an afterthought. Not for the faint of heart, this book is gritty, bloody, angry and grim, but Davidson knows how to write! ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"Fans of Palahniuk and Irvine Welsh will relish the graphic fight sequences and gritty social commentary" in this novel about two very different young men (Rocky Mountain News). Everything has been handed to Paul Harris, the son of a wealthy southern Ontario businessman. But after a vicious beating shakes his world, he descends into the realm of hardcore bodybuilders and boxing gyms, seeking to become a real man, reveling in suffering. Rob Tully, a working-class teenager from upstate New York, is a born boxer. He trains with his father and uncle, who believe a gift like his can change their lives--but he struggles under the weight of their expectations. Now these two young men's paths are about to cross . . . Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
