This was tough. While the story had potential and I enjoyed that aspect of the book, that is the only thing I like about this book. The obscene language that was used in the book is not my cup of tea, it was too much and sounded primitive. None of the characters were lovable, they were drunk nonstop. Parts of the book from the viewers point of view were useless, if they were left out the story wouldn't change. It was a quick reading but I won't read anything from this author ever again.
