    <body><![CDATA[An interesting first novel, particularly for its subject matter and characters. Benedict is at his finest when a) describing the lust West Virigina hill country that he seems familiar with. and b)creating violent imagery.

But the studio, in sending him the script, manages somehow to interleave the pages with parts of Deliverance, High Risk, and Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke.

    <body><![CDATA[This book came highly recommended to me, but it wasn't all I'd hoped. A good read, but not one I'd read again. Very masculine in nature; maybe that's why I'm not giving it 5*.<br/>]]></body>
