TFTNT, Fra!
I'm loving the book, seriously. In fact I think I'll try to find and read other novels by Winslow because he writes so well. At least that's what I got from Savages.

TFTNT, bb

So let's discuss everything about the book, bbs.

Halo23

^ You want spoilers already, don't you?

YW

I would like to read more Winslow books too. I liked the book althought I didn't like the ending so much.

I have to mention the first words of the books too: "Fu.. you" ............nice to meet you too I think Taylor is going to swear a lot in this movie

I'm so lost...RL

This is the new movie he's filming now?

You've have all read the book? What's it about?

Poupa

Lisa, we're here to fill you in, hun don't worry!

Yep, this is a new movie for Taylor, based on a book called "Savages" written by Don Winslow.

"Ben and Chon grow and sell the finest marijuana in SoCal. Business partners and best friends, they even share the same girlfriend, an Orange County Princess called O, short for Ophelia. Beyond providing healthcare benefits for their dealers, the philanthropic Ben also spends a lot of time digging wells, building schools, and providing mosquito nets in developing countries. Chon spends a lot of time staying fit and enjoying his time away from Iraq and Afghanistan. O -- well, she divides her time between sex and shopping. Then one fine day the Baja Cartel come calling, sending in advance a video of a few severed heads for emphasis. The cartel demands that Ben and Chon pretty much turn over the business to them. And they kidnap O for use as a bargaining chip. Ben and Chon have no choice but to do whatever the cartel wants if they want to save O's life (and perhaps their own). Because two men cannot possibly bring down an entire cartel. Can they?"

Thanks so much for filling me in Sally. Sounds very interesting and no doubt, Taylor will do an awesome job.

You welcome, hun


So why no one is talking about the book?

Halo23

^I'll start with this

"Bam,bam,bam"

If you haven't read the book guess what was happenning there.

and picturing Taylor while reading the book didn't help

malevine5

WARGASM!
I was surprised that happen at the very begining of the book LOL
Although the book itself starts with F you so...

Oh my!!!

Poupa

Elaborate

malevine5

That's our dear Chon trying to bang the war out of him while he bangs the hell outta O

I finished reading and I've been a little sad about it for days now
Also, on every synopsis we read that Elena was intrigued and somehow had affection towards O, but she never even came near her! She was only intrigued by her damn demands! Even I was! O sure had cojones to demand all that!

Who's next in line for reading?
