Scott Hardie: “It ruled.”

I somehow never saw this before, despite enjoying the book years ago. It's lively and funny, and deserves to be called a comedy despite the grim subject matter. The sense of fear that ultimately drives each character's behavior is palpable. The elaborate discussions of pop culture sometimes feel like Quentin Tarantino's work.

Scott Hardie: There is! And it's just as obscene and heavily-accented as the movie based on it. − March 25, 2013 • more by Scott
