It's funny enough to keep you interested (although not funny enough to make you fall out of your chair, as Stephen King suggests on the back cover), reads quick enough to get you through it, and is just bizarre enough to remind you who's writing this book. It's a suspenseful mystery tale involving all sorts of hapless characters who trip over one another and fall for one another. Barry's managed to weave a first novel together full of action, drama, suspense, love, and hilarity. As a word of warning, the novel is laced with profanity, but as Barry says, it's the characters' fault, not his.
