Great Book.Original. Dark. Hilarious. Odd. Nihilistic. Promising... Just some of the words that came to mind when processing this novel.The author seems to have a mortal fascination with stories and how they must die, at least this is one way to describe Dally Johanis, the protagonist in the book. His psyche is driven by the memory of his long lost twin who was hit by a train while playing a game of fireworks.  Jeff Napolitano is a natural and gifted writer, his prose seems to come from that deep creative place which is found only in certain artistically 'twisted' individuals. The novel is peppered with a lot of crazy characters, but my favorite had to be Jimmy Empire, a martial arts leader who isn't able to foil the plan.If you're looking for something that will hook its dark little claws into you and make you laugh, then this is the book for you. Excellent, highly recommended.
