Look above and read that title a few more times.  Let it exist in a special place in your  mind.  Try saying it out loud… imagine speaking that title at a gathering of friends when someone asks you what you’ve been reading lately.

By the end of that little exercise you probably already know whether or not this is a book you will enjoy.  Which makes my job pretty easy.  But in the interest of filling the rest of the allowed space for reviews, I’ll go ahead and let you know what I thought of it anyway.

This was a tough read.  I’ll admit that the concept was a turn-off for me right from the get go.  I thought it seemed cheesy, quite frankly.  But I have to admit that it’s actually not as bad as I first thought.  There actually are some twists in here that are genuinely interesting.  The problem is, every cool idea or surprising turn is immediately followed by something incredibly dumb…either a line of dialogue or some lame characterization.  Which in the end makes the entire thing seem really cynical, as if the writer is intentionally keeping things kind of bone-headed so as to not rise above the inherent shittiness of the concept.  At the end of the day. This is the kind of book that the author and his pals probably dreamed up between really boring conversations about other people’s religious beliefs and bong hits.  But who knows, maybe that’s what you people are looking for.
