I really didn't get this until about halfway through. It takes a while to get a feel for the characters, Dally in particular. The character of Dally is like taking the entire cast of The Inbetweeners, getting them drunk, and then building a composite from them to create an extraordinarily weird guy who cringes at the thought of eye contact and doesn't think twice about borrowing a kid's crayon to make a business card to hand a hot shot producer. Even that doesn't adequately convey the utter insanity that is Dally.Except it's more than a story about some entertaining goofball with a screenplay to peddle. The nature of the narrative reminds me a lot of Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards for some reason, possibly because of the scene with Dolly Hilton's 50 cal powered slaughter of a U-Haul's worth of smuggled Asians for the sake of a movie scene. It's black comedy at it's best. Overall a warped, twisted, highly entertaining read.
