Also Hardback is a great purchase and i did a good majority of my reading at the bar. simply remove the dust jacket and it's ready to roll around in all the moist bar-top madness. finished this last night and i really like the first half of the book. aloha from hell though i enjoyed a lot more than this one.

I think of Kadrey as writing something like noir, except that it's much too cheerful. I don’t like really gritty fiction.

I thought that Kadrey had taken a dive into the surreal.  The book seemed to really fall apart.

I just figured I was out of it because it's been so damn hot here lately. Wonder if there will be any kind of note in my email when they get the fixed version up. I guess that's one of the downside of not having actual "chapters" with numbers and a table of contents. Makes that kind of mistake more ambiguous.

I loved the first two books, and these are books that should be read in paperback in a bar--neither hardback nor Kindle (on whatever device) is suitable for this purpose.  I wish that Aloha from Hell would come out in paperback already.
