This book is sick! Matt Godwin is one effed up little Capuchin monkey! I almost put it down in Chapter 2 because I thought it was some kind of weird kinky gay erotica. I decided to give it one more chapter and, sure enough, it became clear in Chapter 3 that it would be a real story with an actual plot. I got way in to the book and couldn't put it down. I can't remember the last time I stayed up all night reading. It was probably back when I discovered Shawn Inmon's Middle Falls series a year or two ago.
If books got ratings the way movies do, this book would be rated NC-17 (in the United States). It's not pornography but it's as explicit as a book can possibly get without being pornography. Read it. Enjoy it. But don't gift it to granny or little Junior for Christmas.
I love books like this. To describe it in person would have people looking at you like you are deranged, maybe even a little sick in the head. But they're always funny and have some truly great characters, far better than most mainstream titles. While infinitely darker subject matter it reads somewhat like a Christopher Moore novel and just as hilarious - with storylines that seem like they don't mesh whatsoever until the last bit, and it's obvious they were intentionally plotted all along. I recently succumbed to the marketing frenzy of books described as "best of", "so funny", and worst of all - "like nothing you've read before". All of them got chucked to my TBR - maybe someday - pile. Each time it felt like reviewers had apparently not read anything that actually lived up to those descriptors. This twisted joyride is perfect if mainstream overly marketed novels in the overproduced genres these days bores you to tears. It's gonzo, it's hilarious, and it's truly entertaining.
