Bruen, typical Bruen
by Ken Bruen
The ending was quite good… brilliant, even, but I had to grit my teeth and listen through (audiobook) Bruen’s painfully too self-aware jack Taylor for the first four and a half hours (of a five hour reading).
I know that Bruen’s got a shining reputation as a master of Irish hard boiled crime fiction, but I find it too heavy handed, too obviously written, to be enjoyable as a story.
