What a trip (in all senses of the word)
Sardonic, witty, meta as hell - and that's just the writing. The main character is that to the Nth degree.
This book isn't for everyone and admittedly, it took me a while to finish. Sometimes it's too tongue-in-cheek for it's own good. But geez, once you're on the rollercoaster, it'll take you on a ride - you've just got to let go and get as loose as A.Z. Kimrean. Well, as loose as Z at least.
