With 3 books published, I thought I might give this series a try, but after reading the first in the series, I remain undecided about its merits. It’s hard to care about a gang of foul-mouthed thugs, for one thing. Their leader, the POV character, Locke Lamora himself, is by any definition a psychopath. In fact, there is absolutely no one in this degenerate city anyone sane could find even remotely likeable.<\/p>\n

There is a lot of exposition, much of it through flash-backs. Because the book actually begins with a flash-back, the jumps forward and backward were confusing until I got the time line unravelled.<\/p>\n

OTOH, I wonder what happens to the survivors of the gang warfare? Is it worth the $$ to find out? The basic plot of “Lies” is intriguing, once you scrape off all the dirt.<\/p>\n
