“meh, should have been made as a comic. this wasnt really a novel. was entertaining and twisted to be sure but i found it somewhat juvenile; like something a teen trying to shock us would write.”

It has macroherpetophiles. It involves the injection of saline into various extra-sensitive places. It is great.”

There are disturbing things that I do not want to investigate further but I loved how McGill seems to be just as disturbed about it as I am. Reminded me of Spider and his assistants.”

Reminded me of Tom Robbins, only sicker. So funny at times. Introduced me to weird sexual depravity I didn't really need to know about. The central argument seems to be that what's mainstream can't be called weird anymore, b/c its there for all of us to see. If we didn't want to see it, we wouldn't look, or it wouldn't exist...Despite all the gross parts, it was a fantastic book. Highly recommended!”

Yes | No“A book that manages to both warmly embrace and hilariously mock the Noir/Detective conventions. I started laughing my ass of quite literally at the first sentence and didn't get much room for breath until I'd finished the bastard. Absolutely worth your time.”
