My review:

The introduction of Enzi’s character was really sad. I couldn’t help but feel bad about how his life was going, but as the story progresses he grows into quite an interesting man.

Enzi meets Kaori and a few days later he’s bailing her out of jail for assault. Right off the bat I did not care for her and I never understood their relationship, however I felt her character was well written, even her dialogue was convincing as a Japanese woman. The descriptions of her art were quite intriguing. I liked the friendship Enzi created with ‘a Fella,’ the bail bondsman, Pascal.

Enzi got himself in quite a pickle when he agrees to do some code hacking for a man named, Tsai. This plot line was my favorite. I might even need to visit Montana with my shovel.

I can’t say I would have picked this one up on my own, but overall I was pleased with it. Most of the characters are pretty unlikable, but it was fast paced and an interesting look at how naivety and greed can turn your world upside down. I was happy with how the conclusion all played out.

Thanks to the author for sending me a digital copy. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review
