A review by yorugua1891
The Dramatist by Ken Bruen

5.0

Ken Bruen has steadily become one of my favorite authors. I read through this novel in one sitting and it left me eager to start the next one, which I will hopefully do in the next few days.

Bruen has a very particular writing style, and I can see how it will not work for everyone. Those that are looking for a novel that uses the same prose every other author out there uses will find themselves out of their comfort zone. However, if you are looking for something special, with a main character that is completely captivating and has many more flaws than admirable qualities, then you should give this series a try.

As if all this was not enough, the end of this novel is so shocking it left me frozen for a minute. Bruen provides the reader with raw and brutal plots and does not pull any punches. Better get ready!
