If you think getting so drunk that you can't remember anything you said or did is funny, you'll love this book. I did not love this book. In fact, I couldn't finish it -- read about half and then gave up.

A very strange book, about an art rock band existing in a world where the fast food wars are literally a war - with casualties and everything. And every band member has a secret tied to these warring fast food franchises, but no one's secret is bigger than the singer's, who is a brilliant corporate shill when he's blackout drunk, and has a secret other life even he doesn't know about when he's sober. Odd, action packed,it felt like a lost collaboration between Hunter S. Thompson and Warren Ellis sometimes. Which is a huge compliment.
