A page turner....
Good book, not quite on the level of Huston's (Henry Thompson trilogy), but a very gripping story!

Four friends, Paul, Hector and brothers George & Andy steal a bag of meth from the local thugs, who just so happen to be making it for the local drug lord / tough guy "Geezer", who just so happens to sell drugs for the big drug lords in Oakland, who don't care what happened to the drugs, they only want their money, on time!
As usual, all the characters were good, very believable, Charlie Huston brings them to life like no one else. The first part of the book is a little slow going, it really takes off about 3/4 of the way through.
"The Shotgun Rule" title refers to calling shotgun (front seat) before getting into a car, not actual shotguns.
Charlie Huston's a great writer, I'm looking forward to reading his Joe Pitt series and his new book "The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death"!
As other reviewers have mentioned, this book would make a great movie....... -

I Like Charlie's Style
I give it a 5 'cause I do enjoy a story that gets right down to it and Huston does just that.

When I first read Stephen King's 'It,' I was amazed at how realistic he was able to capture the essence of his adolescent main characters. Huston has done the same in 'The Shotgun Rule.' Huston has the knack to breathe life into his characters...and although they behave in extreme ways, it's not too extreme based upon the hand of life they are dealt. Told in a non-linear fashion, the switching back and forth may annoy some, but overall, this was one hell of a story.
