I bought this book on impulse while randomly browsing Amazon since it was a couple bucks and seemed like it would be an interesting, quick read. While it was a quick read, I'd say it was anything but interesting. Worse than that, it had me literally cringing (and groaning aloud) on several different occasions. Not too far into the book, the protagonist's eventual lover sums him up perfectly -"sometimes you act like a puerile teenager" which is funny, because the writing and plot is equivalent to that of something a young adult would write. There is even a quote by the hero at the conclusion, which quite accurately describes the narrative and dialogue of the book - "It was just so utterly and incomprehensibly stupid."
