Review: Pineapple Noir
Rating: 4 out of 5

In terms of the "feel" of this book, for me it was like Noir meets Pineapple express.  A down and outer slacker who coasts through life has an existential emergency when on old girlfriend is murdered and he becomes the prime suspect.  The story is told in the first person as the main character blows around L.A.  There are monologues on the meaning of life or lack thereof as he gives us a tour of the city of Angels from the point of. view of a true lost soul.  All this would indicate to me that this is something I should pass on but I am a true sucker for down and outers, cynicism, and the barest of hopes.  A strange read but one I liked a lot.
