content: I bought this book because of the good reviews it received on Amazon and because it was compared to the works of Tom Robbins and Christopher Moore, both of whom I love. But, to compare this book to those authors' work is downright insulting to Robbins and Moore. This book wants to be a screenplay and it reads like one. The dialogue is so trite that it made me cringe to read it and the character development was also very poor. It was very difficult to finish this book even though it was relatively short.
