The language in Never Fuck Up is an improvement on Jens Lapidius first book Easy Money (recently released in English as part of the Stockholm Noir trilogy), also the book itself has a better plot line, it seems as if Lapidius are more assured of where the book is heading. Despite this, the subject for me is not interesting and exiting. Even though I appreciate that he is trying to portray the events very close to the truth, the actions becomes more important than the characters and I prefer it to be the other way around.
Something I do appreciate in both Never Fuck Up and Easy Money is that the ending is not rosy, happily ever after, some get caught, other looses their life whereas other again move on as if nothing has happened, which gives the story a more truthful picture.
