Review: Lightning fast, but still witty

I went into this expecting a complicated mystery tale, but was happy to find a classic action thriller. Don't expect deep, elaborate introspection from the characters; this thing moves way too fast for such baggage! On the other hand, there is just enough character development before and after the revenge twist to get you to care about what's going on.This reminds me a lot of Chuck Palahniuk's writing, just not quite as dark. Even the clipped and violent scenes come off sarcastically. Some readers might not enjoy the ultra-fast pace, but it's all done in style.All in all, a pretty unique twist on the thriller genre that was a lot of fun. I'd like to read a whole series on this hero(ish) character. At least, if the stories stay in this crazy zoo of Rio's criminal underbelly!As is standard practice in this industry, I received a free review copy.
