This was a very good read. I wasn't expecting much when I first picked the book up, but I was plesantly surprised.

Check this little humble novel out. If you like movies like Slacker, Clerks, or Fight Club, you'll dig this book. Great for slacker types of folks of all kinds!

A strange story. An only slightly super-normal narrator transported through an exaggerated world of quasi-normal events stretched to their logical extreme. Can only be described in non-sequiturs.

You will be chuffed.

Any book that can combine incest, flaming beastiality, murder, as well as every perversion known to man and make you want to go to church at the end is worth the read. Jim Ciscell is a southern fried Bret Easton Ellis without a conscience, after reading this book, I prompty cleaned myself off, but throughly enjoyed this guilty pleasure.

Fabulus!!! This book is wonderful it is dark and enlightening all at the same time. Mr. Ciscell does great with the character development and is a wonderfull story teller. This book shows the side of life we never see or we just want to ignore it and pretend it isnt there. Well Mr. Ciscell doesnt pull any punches and tells the story in all its ugly glory. Thanks to him we see there really is a dark side and you dont have to go to a gallaxy far far away to see it or get involved with it on a personal basis. WONDERFUL

I read Mr. Ciscell's book and was pleasantly suprised. It can be shocking, sometimes disgusting, heartwarming and fun all together. His character developement is top shelf along with his storytelling. The ending makes it all worthwhile. I would recommend this book to those who like twists on plots and even fans of Stephen King's writings. Seriously, don't pass up this book.

I absolutely loved this book. There's quite a bit of violence, sex, drugs and strange religions, but it all fits very well into the plot line. The major characters are very well developed and could easily be translated into a mental image. The ancillary characters can be a little confusing if you try to keep track of them all, but as a fun read, it's great. The end is suprising as well as touching. This is the kind of book you want to read over and over again.

Hi, I was the basis for the character Clancy, and yes, I was engaged to Joan, and yes, the Tank Shell Incident actually did happen.
