It took me forever to get through this one. When I started it last weekend, I got through the first half quickly, then it bogged down. I'm accustomed to better from Rankin, and I am fairly disappointed. Part of it is probably because they reveal on page one that our hero, Jonny, ends up floating headless in an ornamental pond.

I could see that the book was trying to go somewhere, but I didn't have the patience to follow it.

Definitely not one of Rankin's better novels. While there were certainly some great moments it really felt like he was relying far too much on his old standby's of fourth wall demolition and stream of consciousness-like "talking the toot". Die hard fans might like it a bit, but everyone else should look elsewhere.

Couldn't get through it. It sounded promising, but I don't really like that whole "unreliable narrator" thing.
