It isn't an easy feat, making you root for the bad guys. It's an even harder feat to make you root for the bad guys when they're not quite bad... or good... or even half-sane. But somehow, and testament to his talent, Glover makes it happen. Syd and Marcy traces the escapades of a wild and sadistic couple on their way to the mecca of fame: Hollywood. It's a romp, a comedy, a twisted, explicit journey with more than its share of Southern perversions and "whoa" moments. I found the eccentricities of the cops to be especially compelling, and the level of depravity and corruptability may not be as far a stretch from reality as one might think. All in all, I enjoyed the premise, and was refreshed to see a duo so understandably errored (A Freudian would have a field-day dissecting their childhoods ;)If you like adventure, if you can handle your sex and your violence, and if you're not opposed to a little Southern sadism, this book will feed you well.
