5.0 out of 5 stars Liverpool 101
How refreshing to read a book that is completely out of the ordinary.The characters are painted in living color and sound so absolutely true. Not only is this a very funny book, but also a lesson in living together with other races. It should be read more than once. My only regret: the preachy ending is not needed - the author had made his point clearly over and over...

3.0 out of 5 stars A distinctive voice and a compelling protaganist
The loopy style wore thin toward the end, but Ted's mix of dark-minded cynicism and only-a-young-guy innocence was so realistic I had to find out what happened to him. The story seemed to get away from Ted, making for a slightly disappointing ending, but the first half of the book was very sharp. A good read simply for Ted's funny and consistent narration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original, witty and insightful account of life., January 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Long Snake Tattoo (Frontlines) (Paperback)
This is a fascinating novel. It is different, but impossible to put down. I am amazed that this novel is not more widely known. This is clearly a cult novel before anybody realised it. Read this book and you will be moved, entertained and you will laugh.
