If the book starts with the excerpt, then it truly does not waste any time getting into the story. Right away it dives into the action of two men coming into an enormous amount of cocaine and deciding to make off with it and sell it- though it seems like they don't have too much of a plan or an idea of what to do. The excerpt felt a little disjointed and I'm not clear on if this is the way the book is written or if these were sections taken from different spots in the story, but it definitely seems like a high action plot.
