For die hard Burke fans this tells the story of Wesley, and much of it was incorporated into the Burke series. It was still a great read, and speaks unpolished truth. Wesley is gripping and terrifying character and his origins here are worth exploring. For new readers, I'd read the Burke books first before going back to this one, to see the roots laid bare. ( ) I think this is actually the first book Vachss wrote but could not get it published. I think Wesley is probably one of the uniquest characters in fiction and in this book we find out how he was trained, in prison, and what he did when he got out. Plenty of action, much violence which is to be expected and a good thriller as he takes on the mob and finds his place. There was a time when five new users signed up at iblist.com and all rated every Andrew Vachss title as a 10. Suddenly, Vachss (whom I had never heard of) was showing up as the top rated author. So I decided to find out about this author who inspired such loyalty from at least a small group of readers, and in exploring the Vachss website, I came accross this early book of his which was available to download as a free e-book. "Ahah!" I thought, "let's see what I've been missing." "Not much" is the answer, at least from what I got out of this book. This is the story of the evolution of psychopathic Wesley from small time crook to murderer to hit-man to terrorist. It is moderately suspenseful, but far from compelling. The characters are neither likable nor believable. The suggestion in the afterward that A Bomb Built in Hell was somehow eerily prescient of the Columbine tragedy was misguided to the point of being offensive. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
