I had a deliriously fun time reading this. It's like if an American Douglas Adam's wrote a Lovecraft horror. Fast paced, ridiculous, vulgar, with tons of twists and turns and reveals and foreshadowing that were all just sink-your-teeth-in fantastic. A great vacation read, enough to suck you in but light enough to go back to your leisure times. Absolutely fantastic, highly recommend to anyone with a sick appreciation for dark humor and black comedies. 

It was written in early 2000's, so expect a lot of slurs and no longer PC humor.
