Customer Reviews

A fast paced novel, like reading a Tarantino movie

Beyond any praise or any listing of characters, this novel has a certain gritty flavor that stays in your mouth (brain) for a long time.Noir, beat, crime, love, dogmatic...A full metal jacket bullet shot rigth trough your left eye ball.

Night People is probably the best book I have ever read.

This book is a brilliant web of intertwining stories that left me wishing I could meet it's characters for coffee. Barry Gifford must be the best author in the world right now. His style is unmatched, and his subject matter is great. Gifford makes the strange commonplace while his characters try to tether themselves to reality. A beautiful book!

This book was dirty!

Ooooooooo, this book, this book man. Dirty, dirty, dirty! This book had it all. Lesbians. Incest. People who have sex for money. Dirty, dirty, dirty. But it was the clean kind of dirty.It was very good.
