Crystal King's Reviews > The Bullet Swallower

The Bullet Swallower is one of those books that I pick up, and am truly blown away by the prose. E.G. James has a rare command of the language, with every sentence and every paragraph a masterful stroke in a wild, imaginative plot. I'm not into Westerns, but this book yanked me deep into its pages. Dual timelines are hard to wrangle, but you'd never know it in this novel. It's no wonder that I keep seeing this book pop up on the "most anticipated" lists for 2024. It has easily earned its place. I hope this book lands a movie...it would be so meta, in the very best way.

Thank you, Simon & Schuster and NetGalley, for the early read on this book!
