I couldn't put it down, it just kept growing on me. At first I thought "this is disgusting" then I really got into the antagonism between the characters and how everyone knew what was doing on yet couldn't change the circumstances to suit them. The best part was the flashbacks into Billy's life and what a character there!

I have to admit that it wasn't until about a 3rd of the way through the book that I really got hooked. It was a little slow going at first, but something kept me reading on. I'm glad I did because the story just got better and better. What an outrageously hilarious tale. Sadly enough, I could see something like this occurring. However, it made for a mighty fine story. I loved all the colorful language used in the story too. It made it even funnier. I'm impresses that the author came up with so many nasty, yet intelligent insults. I wish my brain could come up with some of the horrific terms that the author did. Genius!!
