Dewey Decimal is an obsessive compulsive, possibly insane veteran of mixed ethnicity who lives in a library in a New York that has been smashed to pieces by terrorists. He runs errands of the murderous variety in exchange for his medication.

This book is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the narrative style, and the main character's way of looking at the world. The choppy sentence structures and colorful language really communicate his state of mind as well as giving hints to where he was from before shit went down. Highly recommended.
