Why indeed? The story premise sounded interesting - a top-notch security guard (and I mean, really top-notch) is bested by the Rat Burgler. The Rat Burgler steals whatever object of art the pulse is guarding that month. So, he's in danger of getting demoted. And then his personal like is all messed up - he's got a loan shark after him, not to mention serious issues with his girlfriend and A LOT of debt. He is really messed up. And then when it can't get any worse, it gets worse.
There sure were a lot of footnotes in this book. Actually, they were funnier than the main novel.
So, I'm mixed as to what I thought of it. Not exactly my style, maybe a little bit too silly for me. It's light reading - real light. Even the torture scenes are rather light. And maybe that's a bad thing? Or a work of genius? And talking to my husband about it, he said "That's not a guy book, that's a girl book!"
Maybe so?… (mer)
