I had such high hopes for this book.....but was absolutely disappointed.
I made it to chapter 6 and DNF'd it. Awful editorial errors as well as a story line that was not very easy to follow. I was not impressed

A vague but favorable recollection of Gordon’s Serialist had me interested in this one, the author’s latest. And it didn’t disappoint. While Serialist may have had more of a plot for my interests, this mishmash of high octane action, irreverent slapstick, cops and robbers (and gangsters and fanatics) crime thriller was just oodles of fun. Easy to imagine as a movie and just the kind I’d watch for pure mindless entertainment, with mad pacing, dynamic vibe, great energy likeable characters across the board and a high five all around happy ending…this book was, in fact, bouncy and thus aptly titled. Although the main protagonist is actually a bouncer, among other things. And the dude is seriously awesome, he fights, he jokes, he reads, he’s got a strong customized take on justice and he’s irresistible to the ladies. Sort of like a Queens’ (maybe Brooklyn’s) James Bond. Quick and very entertaining read. Thanks Netgalley.
