One of the most irritating things I found about this book was the phrase "if you want to know the truth" which I also found irritating in "The Catcher in the Rye", but Trembath uses it over and over again, and does seem to be imitating Salinger quite a bit. That is probably why this book was awarded prizes. (Usually a sure sign I won't enjoy a book.) He also begs the reader to "promise you won't laugh" towards the end. Believe me, there is no reason to laugh in this book. Or cry, or invest any emotion other than disgust. That's my opinion, if you want to know the truth!

I found this book to be very boring and most of the time it went slow and hardly had a plot. The characters were boring and not dynamic. This book was on a reading list or I would not have read it not to mention almost all the bookstores in my area did not have this book. I had to order it.

I liked this book. You should read this book if you like to hear people talk. It it had great fire seens, but lacked action.
