Again and again the voice of Todd McEwen excels at making the slight seem grand, the simple seem quiet comlicated, and the desire for Guiness unrivaled. If you like complete sentences and get aggravated. When. People don't write like you. Were taught. Stay away. If you like eloquence and humor beneath the guise of seriousness dive in. If you recognize yourself it may hurt, beware. This is not a book for the stout lads who run with the beautiful women and drink frilly drinks while worrying how to get laid. This is a wonderful twisted look at a loner. Satire, not sarcasm. McX belong's with the company of Beckett's Murphy.
