JBOR:

Yeah, I get it, but like MalignD I find that a lot of the supposedly
funny stuff falls flat -- the kooky names, middle-aged transvestite
hippie with a chainsaw, redhead lesbian ninja in a Batmobile -- and the
narrator's prolixity and sarcastic tone are off-putting. There's some
good stuff, but a lot of it comes across as strained, unpolished,
sophomoric. It's his weakest work by far.

My two cents:

It's as if Pynchon was doing an imitation of Tom Robbins.
