Customer Reviews

Brilliant.

This book is brilliant because the main character Dan Cody is incredibly deep and complex. You think you understand him - his story is at first a little hard to swallow, but eventually you believe him. Then slowly you are brought to question his sanity. Very subtly, you are shown so many sides and angles to him, that youre not sure which is real. Previous reader with negative review must have a brain the size of a pea.

A very good reason why you shouldn't want to go to jail.

After having doing some work inside a prision, I found this but to portray life for the inmates in a realistic way.Read this book; it'll shock you and disturb you, but it will make you think!

Intreguing and suspensful

After reading the other comments, I was shocked. "Shank" is a story that will always keep you wondering if Dan Cody is worth supporting. The novel's setup was fresh, instead of the same old third person omnisant appraoch. Great story!
