[A] deeply atmospheric debut...with strong character development and emotionally driven plots...[Reedus] conjures hot, twisting highways, cold steel railroad tracks, and the dry heat of the Atacama Desert, creating settings with such a strong sense of place that they become characters themselves., A wild, gritty, propulsive work of fiction...You'll take the ride of your life with Reedus's fierce and unforgettable characters., The Ravaged is a wild ride through the underbelly of America following three characters who are running for their lives and running into trouble. This bold foray into the classic road novel genre has plenty of ass-kicking and bloody knuckles, but ultimately Reedus is always aiming for the heart-muscle, and many readers will appreciate the deeply felt introspection and cathartic moments rendered here. Norman Reedus cannonballs the 'Grit-Lit' world with this audacious, rollicking debut novel., A bruising road poem which sings of a desperate plea for liberation from the shackles that bind, the stranglehold of familial disappointment and trauma. The need for freedom, tribe, relief from the ghosts that haunt, both living and dead. The Ravaged is a beautifully rendered work which gives voice to the hope that something better might be in reach just beyond the next bend in the road. I couldn't put it down.
