This review is from: Chicago Loop (Paperback)

I have read a few of Paul Therux's books, and to tell the truth, I'm not sure what to think of him. The characters in the books I've read are inclined to be quirky, and the main character here tops them all. He does seem to have a crumboing mind and is somehow trying to make sense of it all. He's not a truly violent character. The main act of violence here seems to be a misunderstanding, or is it a curiosity about how it is to be a murderer. He does seem to be deliberately dabbling in various roles in life and not totally understanding any of them. I can't truly recommend this book nor can I condemn it. Read it at your own risk.
