IV Blog Teaser

[tbeshear]

Unlurking to say that I'm about 50 pages into it -- I've laughed out loud 
several times. So far, it's definitely the lightest thing he's written. 
Tibor Fischer was exactly right when it wrote that it reads like an Elmore 
Leonard novel. Perhaps it will deepen later, but so far I think it falls 
into Graham Greene's category of  "an entertainment." I could easily imagine 
it as a movie, perhaps directed by Tarantino, cuz these characters love to 
talk talk talk.
That said, I've got over 300 pages to go, and who knows where it'll end up?
