Hilariously funny in parts but somewhat overlong.

I bought this as a cover buy. it sounded like a good romp though I never heard about the author before. the novel started of rather well but I agree with the other reviewers that the book started to drag in the middle. it didn't have enough steam for the length that it is.

I also found the main character's obsession with a little girl rather disturbing and I don't get the point of that particular part of the story (or maybe the clue was in the last 150 pages which I skim read?).
