Title: Learn the rule of threes, Maxx
Product review: This book is an annoying read. The rule of threes in fiction states that after the same behavior is repeated twice, the third time needs to be a payoff. But there are no payoffs here. Scat is rendered homeless at least four times, is snubbed dead by the ladylove who hates him but really loves him an equal or better number, and is betrayed in various configurations more times than I cared to count. The overall effect is a bad deja vu where the lead never learns a thing. People can be stupid and dense in real life, but Barry's protagonist really pushes the edge of how much idiocy one person can be capable of. And with me, it crossed the line. Two stars is more than generous.
