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?
