Title: Don't Believe the Hype
Review: Do not read this book because you liked Requiem for a Dream the movie. It is totally dissimilar. For that matter, don't read this book if you like a novel to have a plot. Last Exit to Brooklyn is made up of several unrelated stories that constantly switch back and forth throughout the book. The result is that you find yourself no more involved on the last few pages than you were on the first few. The stories go nowhere and could just as easily been arranged in a different order. Specifically, the stories are comprised of transexual and homosexual activities, drug use, spousal abuse, and child abuse. None of the characters are likeable. If you're looking for something contemporary, try anything by Chuck Palahniuk instead.
