Title: From the sublime to the ridiculous
Review: What a schizophrenic book. The first half-- following its hapless anti-hero through a series of escalating mortifications--is a great, funny read--Chalmers possesses a real mordant wit. However, the minute our hero steps foot onto the super-heated tarmac of deepest, darkest Central Florida, the book spirals into a surreal gumbo of tooth-breaking violence, tin-eared dialogue, and every "Suhthun" stereotype known to man. Being a Floridian myself, the factual discrepancies rife in this book were jarring and distracting. How disappointing.
