Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I listened to this audiobook during a road trip from Texas to Missouri. Let me tell you how much I fell in love with these two fathers. I was watching the movie in my head as they talked. I listened to Idris Elba play one father, and Billy Joe Thorton plays the other as they worked through the inner turmoil they felt in their hearts. Every emotion came out of the narrator’s voice.
The storyline was so realistic, modern, and heartfelt. It was as if the whole book was written from a first-hand account. I even put faces to the slimy politician, bikers, and criminals. I didn’t have characters or prominent actors for them because I wasn’t as invested. I mean, they weren’t my fave, let’s say.
When you lose someone, you weren’t on good terms with yet loved with all your heart, it puts a scar on you like no other. These fathers lost more than anyone else, and they would not sit by idly and let it rest. The badassery in this book had me pumping my fist on the steering wheel. I’m sure a few passerby’s thought I was crazy, but I don’t give a damn.
Gosh, I want to go and listen again just writing this review. Let me tell you, listen to the audiobook, and you will do yourself a favor.
Bravo, bravo, bravo.
