I guess I'm not the target audience. I do think the writing is quite clichéd. It relies a lot on alcohol, drugs, sex, violence, and religious desecration for shock value, and this move never works for me. I find the commentaries on racial tension and Islamic televangelism interesting but superficially explored.

second fixi book i've read as recommended my friend at KLBAC, what a great ride.

Insane plot that involves current issues in today's world - racism, religion, drugs and cult.

yo.......... what the heck was that ending supposed to mean...........

other than that, this was a wild ride, man. i loved how disturbing & gory it became in the 2nd half. if i had a gripe, it would be that the plot should have unraveled a lot earlier so that we get MORE GORE.

(also, the male characters depicted in this book are the personification of the phrase "men are trash". disgusting. my hands were itching to punch a wall the whole time.)
