Title: check your morals at the door
Review: This is a good book--if you're the kind who likes to stop and look at car wrecks. There's a murder a minute, and some multiple murders to make up for any minutes without one. I'm hardly a prude, considering "The Choirboys," is one of my favorite novels, but this thing is loaded with gratuitous violence. The best novels are like long love affairs. This is a long, bloody road leading to nowhere, like a lengthy meaningless series of questionable, if not dangerous, sexual encounters with ugly people because you don't have the clout to rein in anyone better. the random madness can hardly be considered a plot, and you wouldn't mind if a nuclear strike took out all the characters in the book. I only gave it any stars at all because it was fascinating in its unbridled ugliness, and I had to keep slogging through to see what dead end lay ahead.
