JUST WATCH THE MOVIE. Scott Smith also worked on it and the plot is just better. 

It's well and tightly written, defines Midwestern Noir, but for me this book SUCKS! I couldnt put it down but I also had to keep looking away! The guy is horrible about his brother and brother's dog. The story leaves you cold. The whole thing feels purposeless and meaningless. Bad choices all around.
