Gutshot Straight: A Novel by Lou BerneyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Got this as a free eBook from B&N and during some travelling got a chance to read it. The first couple of chapters seemed rather predictable. Much like getting a present that is wrapped in such a way that you already know what is inside, but the author does throw some curve balls along the way. Much like the present analogy, as the reader begins unwrapping the present, they discover something much different than what they had anticipated.
The story starts out with a con who has decided that he is going to keep to the straight and narrow. Unfortunately for him, he encounters people who seem to be actively pushing him off the path. Starting with an old flame, and continuing with the woman. The one that can throw him curve balls all day and he just keeps swinging at them, regardless of the consequences. Fortunately for him, she appears to feel the same way about him, at least for the time being.
Overall, I found this to be an excellent read, and I would recommend it to most anyone, from teen to adult.
