From the name of the book and your summary I started trying to imagine how Macbeth could fit into a adaptation of drug dealing and the crime world. Think it would be fantastic and from your review it sounds like the book is a hit. Maybe I'll wait until another round of editing before picking it up (having too many errors really bugs me when reading). Great review!

I understand your annoyance concerning the errors. I didn't find them distracting, but other people can have stronger reactions. Thank you for your appreciation!

The cover art of this book scares me. I hope the inside wouldn't be like the outside.

While I like crime thrillers, I don't think this book is for me as I don't really enjoy reading about gangs. Thanks for the great review!

This definitely sounds like a book only suitable for adults with so much profanity, crime and sexual activity. It will be interesting to find out where Shakespeare fits in.

Yes, even if there are not many details, it's the kind of complex book with moral grey areas that's suitable for adults. Thank you for commenting!

"If the novel's title and its characters reminded you of William Shakespeare's Macbeth, that's not accidental. The author draws a strong inspiration from that classic tragedy adapting the story to today's world of drug dealers."

This can really be an interesting adaptation. Thanks for the good review!
