Another Life by Andrew Vachss
3.0
It's a testament to the power of Burke that this read like a parody. Burke slashes his hand through the air to cut people off enough to give himself RSI and more fist-bumps and hi-fives are given out than at your average basketball game - assumption for comedic effect: never been to a basketball game.
The book was one long lecture and if this had been the first Burke book I read, it would have also been the last, but no, it was just the last and the last. For real. As the prof might have said "what you say don't play, you gotta do to make it true" and Bourke doesn't really do a lot.
18 books is a fair whack and there were some gems in there, but ultimately I'm glad the whole thing's over and I think Burke is too. Poor guy was as tired as we were and it showed.
