Title: A fan's opinion
Review: I first picked up Andrew Vachss because I heardhis name mentioned in connection with Batman.Figuring it was going to be fiction in the RaymondChandler vein, I picked up one of his books.Needless to say, the hard steel nightmare thatBurke and his "family" live through daily flooredme.Down In the Zero is a very good book in that weget more of an insight on Burke. Vachss refers toevents in other novels; it helps if you read thewhole series in order. We get an insight into Burke'ssoul that is both entrancing and disturbing.This isn't a poetic book, and Burke is not alikable person. The entire novel is told fromBurke's point of view, that of a hardened, callouscriminal. And any poetry would get in the way.The novel is sharp, quick, and to the point. Thecutting edge of detective fiction, well worthreading.
