Indeed its a lengthy one but 3 quarters of the way through you have such a revelation that the last part is almost like another novel entirely.....completely changed my outlook on the book.


I'm keeping it light these days,I'm fawning over T.S. Elliot's "Rum runner" I'm enjoying the dry,crass,grim humor.It's a short but sweet read so I'd suggest it to all of my Fear and Loathing fans out there..
