Shotgun Gravy is interesting and quite different from what I normally read (sci-fi, YA )The writing style is quite unusual - it's third-person limited, written in present tense, with a veryopinionated narrator. I luv this kind of style, it's similar to the kick-ass "Savages" (turned into a movie by Oliver Stone), where the narrator rates a lot and slips in many personal statements.This allows for a highly entertaining experience, if you're up for that kind of storytelling.The story itself had some speed bumps towards the middle, but the pace's picking up especially in the second part of the novella, when everything's gearing towards the climax, which offers a grrrreat revelation.The overall style is edgy, gritty, trailer-park-trash-ish with the occasional violence and F-bombardement, backed up by some sarcasm support.If you're in for that thing, you're in for a treat.
