By Denis JohnsonNew York Times Book Review Recommended
Crime novel would not adequately describe this book. Although it feels like that is exactly what you are reading. Without crime solvers, only crimes. The omniscient view point Johnson writes from almost forces the reader to become the only one observing the crimes, privvy to the "who done it" unfolding in this mystery.
Tired phrases come to mind to describe this unique book: gutsy, hard-boiled, dark (my least favorite). It is almost a Pulp Fiction in fiction. Very entertaining, full of twists and turns, you never know what sort of laughable horror the next page will hold.
