Title: Not what I had hoped
Review: Very disappointed with this book, expecially after all they hype I've heard. Nothing but a compilation of events, with a few strings holding the entire story together. There is absolutely no imagery or wit in this book to emotionally magnify or detract from the squalor in which virtually every awful character lives. The author's attempt at wry humor, shock, and sarcasm don't convince me for a minute that this book is clever. Don't waste precious summer time on this read.
