George Patrick HaneReviewed by George Patrick Hane

I didn't get the appeal of this at all. It felt like waiting for a train at the central station and being hit up every few minutes by a different junkie with their confused babbling and tasteless profanity. Compared to the iconic film, the book lacks any charm or narrative structure. This is mainly because the narrator changes every few pages. Maybe this is authentic, but it just isn't good storytelling.
