Broken

De: Don Winslow

Narrado por: Ray Porter, Kaleo Griffith

“One of America’s greatest storytellers.” (Stephen King)

“Winslow, whose work includes a dozen of the finest crime novels written in the last 20 years, displays all of his strengths, including propulsive narration, compelling characters and a tight, staccato writing style, in Broken, a collection of six remarkable novellas.” (Bruce De Silva, Associated Press)

No matter how you come into this world, you come out broken....

In six intense short novels connected by the themes of crime, corruption, vengeance, justice, loss, betrayal, guilt, and redemption, Broken is number-one international best seller Don Winslow at his nerve-shattering, heart-stopping, heartbreaking best.

In Broken, he creates a world of high-level thieves and low-life crooks, obsessed cops struggling with life on and off the job, private detectives, dope dealers, bounty hunters, and fugitives, the lost souls driving without headlights through the dark night on the American criminal highway.

With his trademark blend of insight, humanity, humor, action, and the highest level of literary craftsmanship, Winslow delivers a collection of tales that will become classics of crime fiction.

Five stars !

A great collection of 6 novellas by one of my favorite authors. Trigger warning, there is some not-so-subtle political commentary woven into several of the stories (especially The Last Ride). I loved the appearance of many of Mr. Winslow's characters from previous books showed up in these stories. Ray Porter's narration was fantastic; he rates 5+ stars. Theother narrator was fine, but I wish Ray Porter had read the entire collection. If you are a Winslow fan, this is a must read.

Listening again.

I had no idea what to expect when I bought this. I enjoyed all of the stories.

Solid, Exciting

It's almost hard to believe Winslow can be so consistently good, book after book, but here it is.Tight, compelling crime fiction. Griffith and Porter do a great job too. Highly recommended.

Good But Not Winslow’s Best

Set an interesting but some rather flat stories. Winslow is a great writer and I am a big fan, enjoyed listening but not his best

Six great stories

I really enjoyed all the short stories. A very nice mixture. You will enjoy the mix of characters.

Terrific

Wonderful story, great writing, and outstanding reading. You won’t go wrong with this book. Don Winslow is one of my favorite crime writers.

Excellent

This book is fantastic, I really loved it. Each story is a gem, carefully crafted by the author, with humor and intelligence.

Don Winslow is an American Treasure

My two favorite authors are Don Winslow and Stephen King, Mr. King guess my nod over Mr. Winslow only because Mr. Kane puts out so much more work than Mr. Winslow does. This is not a criticism of Mr. Winslow because his work is always amazing. I cannot think of one of his books that I have not enjoyed immensely, and broken is no exception. When I first saw “short stories“, I was prepared to be disappointed. However Broken exceeded my expectations, from the narration, the storytelling, and bringing back of old characters, nay, old friends from previous books of Mr. Winslow. If you are a fan of his work you will not be disappointed, I highly recommend.

Stories are intriguing , funny and heartbreaking

The Zoo story is so funny, the last story is the best but heartbreaking. the voices of each character are well suited for the story.

I’m angry with you, Don Winslow

I’ve never written a review before. I love your books. I’ve read almost every one. Loved this book, and absolutely hate the ending. ...Although I understand it.
