Great start but trails off,

This review is from: Headcrusher (Paperback)
Yes, Headcrusher does start off with a decent premise - the cynical look at the new capitalism of Latvia through the eyes of a "sold-out" PR executive. And it's pulled off extremely well, with that philosophical quirkiness of Fight Club that the novel's been compared to. However about two thirds of the way through it becomes unhinged. There is nothing philosophical, only less and less meaningful violence - and mayhem that makes the book only confusing. By the end I was working out who killed whom, I think it tries too hard in the end to be "edgy" and so I was left feeling it was all edge and no substance. Still, a very interesting look at the nihilism of a post-Soviet Baltic state...
