I didn't know what to make of a book titled Nothing. I soon realized it was nothing like I expected. The story is tight and clipped, lots of action, extremely dark shown through the eyes of a sociopath. The style surprised me, but I soon adjusted and once I did, I really enjoyed it. I looked forward to finishing a work shift so I could read a bit more. Barry surprised me again with the unexpected twists towards the end. Despite the squalid settings Barry thrusts us into, I enjoyed this book more than I did his first novel, Missing.
