While we were on vacation in NS I finished a book: Heat 2 (amazon). Non an imaginative title, but certainly a book I was excited about, given how much I loved Heat (imdb | rotten tomatoes). It split into two time periods, a la Godfather 2: both an early/origin story for Neil, and the immediate aftermath, and some years following, of the lone surviving character(s) from Heat. I can’t say it was a great work of fiction, but goddamn if it wasn’t satisfying to revisit that world.

I’m also pretty psyched at the rumours they’re already thinking about the movie. Adam Driver as a young Neil McCauley? Stop it. Stop it right now.
