For starters, I would like to offer my thanks to the folks at the The Banned Books Club group for giving me the opportunity to read and discuss this and many other fine books. This small group was recently started to shine a light on books that have been the subject of attacks by those who would censor what we read. It deserves our support.

I really enjoyed this book. It was beautifully written, and the main character was interesting enough that I could ignore how much of a self-pitying, hopeless psycho he was.
