review 1: This book was awesome. It took me a bit to get into it, I think that had to do with reading another first person novel right before this, and transitioning between those voices wasn't easy. That's totally on me though. After I got the feel for the character I almost couldn't put the book down. I read on my breaks at work and made it back late quite a few times just trying to get the next page read. It's fun, fast, and insightful. I loved it. I want to read it again one day and see if the clues are as obvious as the narrator tells us they are right before the reveals.
review 2: I very much wanted to love this book and how could I not? It had at least three things I adore: Jim Thompson novels, Prime Suspect, and Amtrak hot dogs. But, in the end the relentl... moreess sliding from humor to horrific violence was a little too much. Not too disturbing, that would be giving the author too much credit for a gimmick born of too much education on writing. It was just a sort of whipsawing that was slightly nauseating, like a roller coaster that's three minutes too long less
