Review:

"I loved the colorful characters and his raw writing style..." Pete Cornett of Floater

Review:

"Fast paced read ...characters that you care about as well as those that horrify you...what was real, what wasn't, and what might have been...explosions, insanity, sex, and a reality that leaves more questions than answers. The book was over too soon." Chris, doorman at the Goodfoot

Such a great book. Fast, easy read. I am insane, I guess, because I could relate with the story so well. The book makes you wonder about the extent of Avi's hardships over the years to be able to write such a book. It puts in words perfectly, some of the problems with our society today, in a dark, semi sarcastic way. Laugh outloud funny. Raw and Gritty.
