5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, September 30, 2008

By	M. Hill "Ice-BlueStars" (New York, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Moist: A Novel (Paperback)

This novel is a non-stop, never-put-down, read-it-in-one-sitting kind of book. It reads like a film, except you can dive into the characters' heads and come out the other side. There are graphic depictions of death and sex, and there is 'vulgar' language, but to omit such aspects of the world of this novel, that of the Mexican Mafia, would to do an injustice to the world of the novel. Well written and well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Funny, But Intelligently Written, December 2, 2003

An excellent read. Very funny in a dry sort of way. Intelligently written with engaging characters. Great light reading.
