review 1: The humor is apparently much like that of Confederacy of Dunces, but since I didn't think that book was funny this one didn't do anything for me either. There a couple of clever passages but mostly random descriptions (a lipless dog, galoshes found in the back seat or car) for the sake of being random set against set pieces that function only to get the characters from here to there. Speaking of characters: not a realistic female character to be found in this book; of course, the males aren't much better.
review 2: This is the first book I've ever read that made me sick to my stomach. Sick to the point that I had to put it down for a second and take a deep breath, which was hard to do what with the less than pleasant odors that make the air thick on my commut... moree on public transportation. But I think that's one of the reasons why I liked this book so much, because it was so gross. Nonetheless, it was very unpredictable and kept me wanting more with my eyes glued to the pages and my butt at the edge of my seat. This book is not for the weak! less
