Happy Birthday Doc...I ran out of cake so instead I found a review of your book to share.
A savage, very original satire that openly mocks the American demigod-like worship of worthless celebrity with a future where despicable murderers become our new focus of adoration. It's as farcical as Swift's "A Modest Proposal," yet no less poignant.
Mr. Cook does a good job with creating a world for the story to live in, and treats the protagonist--who is an unannounced serial killer in a world obsessed with serial killers--with painstaking descriptions of a mentality sharp yet viciously deranged. As the story moves along it becomes harder and harder to tell who's crazier: the protagonist or the world.
I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment.
Have a good one ;)
