What I really enjoyed is reading a story narrated by someone who had Tourette’s syndrome. First time I’ve ever read a story with the narrator like that. But other than that I didn’t find the story itself to be anything but kind of blah. I was disappointed in the ending and overall felt let down. I do plan on checking out the movie though.

This is a story about a trippy romp across the backbone of America in a reality nothing is as it seems and dreams are more real than reality.

I didn’t really enjoy this book. The language was interesting and having the current political situation play a part added a dimension,but didn’t make up for the characters. The female narrator did not ring true to me, though perhaps her identity as a Manhattan socialite was just too foreign for me.
The fact that it is pretty much love at first sight between hard boiled detective and client seemed more than a bit unbelievable. Perhaps she is touched by his rescue of animals and people, but why does he fall for her?
The desert people are interesting and, the deserted festival atmospheric, but didn’t make up for the irritation I felt at the main character.
Maybe that was intentional

Sort of a cross between Sam spade , detective searching for partners killer, and The Godfather, family allegiances mired in crime. The mysterious femme fatale, the evil corporation , the worry about who can be trusted, all the usual noir type scenarios, with the interesting addition of the protagonist having to deal with his Tourettic impulses on top of everything else.
