A dark and brutal debut. Donnybrook is a bellow of rage from the American heartland, and Bill is the new bard of the disaffected rural underclass. Roger Smith, author of Wake Up Dead Raw desperation and powerful prose pack a knockout punch in Donnybrook. Frank Bill's novel is a winner. Hilary Davidson, author of The Damage Done The prose is vivid and visceral, especially the fight scenes. Bill manages to accurately portray intricate movements and action without losing pace. These set pieces are often imaginative, original and horrific... There's a definite cinematic quality to the whole narrative.
