It’s a good book BUT if you talk about a bunch of cool looking birds you really ought to include pictures of them.

It’s an okay book. It’s like the Grateful Dead of literature. It has an entertaining enough plot that’s used to deliver some dumb ass philosophies.

Are the flaws of the main character a focus of the book? It's about a guy who gets his hand cut off and replaces it with a murder claw.

If you're worried that he doesn't know how to use his murder claw, don't be. He makes one guy piss himself and another guy piss AND shit himself.

This book is also full of great hand-related puns. A must read for anybody who likes claws.

Note: This book is not a self-contained story. It ends with plenty of unfinished business. The second book is not a sequel, but a continuation of the story set up in this book.
