The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I finished this book ~3 weeks ago (and am filling up my Goodread’s dbase [Sept. 7/26]). The blurbs about this book are accurate. We’re following along a bizarre re-imagining of the California gold rush. If you can imagine watching Boardwalk Empire, Snatch, The Gangs Of New York, or Peaky Blinders… then you’ll have a good time reading The Sisters Brothers. Almost all the characters in this book are repugnant human beings. The 2 protagonists are sociopaths who do what’s necessary to get jobs done. It’s purple prose, so be patient with it.
