I just recently finished it. It was beautifully written in many ways, the story was good and it was well structured. However, I thought it was a little overly descriptive at times and I found Chris Shiherlis to be a bit different from the impulsive man we saw in the film.

Heat is literally my all time favorite movie. My dad and I bonded more over that movie than any other movie. Also, the more I watch it, the more I appreciate how Mann showcases the city of Los Angeles in the most brilliant way. He did the same with Collateral, another Mann gem that doesn't get the respect I feel it deserves


But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
