I had watched this when I was  a teenager.  We watched all the "punk" movies that we could and this was one of them. So I knew what to expect.  The slang from the book would have been a little harder to understand if I hadn't of taken Russian as my language in college.  But I liked the book, it is just a little scary when the things that are happening now seem like the madness that is happening in the world.  It seems like a matter of time before the draconian methods of straightening up the riff-raft that are used in the book become the standard.  Although, I think they might use these methods on the masses instead of just the criminals.  We are far from having a completely obedient society. 

Started this last night and just finished it.  Found this on the new shelf at the library and it sounded interesting enough to bring home.  I enjoyed the action and the easy flow of the writing. I did draw some similarities to the  "Dexter" series (hit man taking out other hit men) but overall I enjoyed this novel.  I do have to say that the one scene that didn't quite seem to fit was the one in the banquet room where there are three hit men and they didn't sense that someone was watching them.  You would think in their profession that they would be hyper alert to something like that. And considering Michael only takes out other hitters he should always have suspected that they would find him and try to take him out.  The ending was left open and I am interested enough to see where Mr. Holm takes it.
