The Butt: An Exit Strategy by Will Self

This book both confused and bored me slightly. It follows the story of Tom Brodzinski, who when deciding to give up smoking he throws his cigarette butt over the balcony, hitting and injuring a local man. The start was promising, easy to read, interesting and great scope for a good story exploring the country and customs. But then, I felt it didn't amount to much and as a result I started to skim read and lost my way with it. I recall a very long road trip and Tom having some sort of surgery, but I'm afraid to say, it just wasn't a compelling read for me.
