Title: I love Edward Lee but..... sorry, not this
Review: First off, I love Edward Lee. He is a black comic genius. The Pig, The House, The Bighead, The Minotauress. All genius that had me laughing all the way.Goon is generally boring. It seems like a very basic story written by someone other than Lee (Pelan) where Lee has added several sections of gross sex. Lee is usually very good and very funny at this stuff but on this occasion it comes off as a half arsed effort that probably took him a couple of hours to write.There is one piece of classic Lee in this novel, a conversation between two police officers. The rest? Sorry, glad this was not my first Lee book.Not worth the $20 asking price. Sorry Ed. Love your work but this is lacklustre.
