Judging from some of the reviews I've read about this book, I think readers can get so caught up in labels and genres that they can be blinded to the charms of a rollicking, roller-coaster of a ride and overall, good read. If this book was made into a movie, I could see Tarantino or Rodriquez directing it as it has all the elements of their story-telling in here, complete with humor, violence, a plot that moves at a brisk pace, characters that have, well, character and the funniest dialogue no one really says, except in their movies. Reviewers have been trying to label those two filmmakers since they started making movies: is it a comedy? a romance? action? drama..? Maybe it's all of the above but the one thing you can say about those and about this book: it's downright entertaining (and like all guilty pleasures, go ahead and feel guilty afterwards, if you must).
