review 1: So I didn't realize this author was from Greensboro, UNCG grad, I honestly just grabbed this off the shelf - the title grabbed me and when i saw the cover I was on board. I'm 2/3 through and I have to say this is a campy little ride and many of the streets - if you are from Greensboro - you will recognize. Anyone know this author? he teaches at Elon and lives in Greensboro according to the jacket.Update - finished it last night. It gets increasingly uncomfortable as many dark comedies do, but I enjoyed it. I honestly couldn't relate to most of the characters, really only the main character, Jack, but he is so lovable to me really hung in there til the end with him.
review 2: I wanted to like this book - I really did. The blurb on the flap was intriguing. Alas... more, it turns out you can't judge a book by its cover or its flap. I just finished its three hundred pages of trite material that is tethered to an unstructured plot that ended up going absolutely nowhere. The characters were woefully undeveloped past tired stereotypes of men and women. This book's biggest flaw is that I just didn't care about any of these characters, the autistic kid included. And no, I'm not evil, I'm just not interested in crap. less
