This is beyond puerile. It has no plot, it just rambles about an impossible character, supposedly a world renowned surgeon who kills or sexually assaults people for fun or in revenge for personal slights. He breaks into people's homes while they are absent and assumes their identity, again, just to amuse himself. Even the sex misses, it is not erotic, just a mention that something sexual happened. There is no character development, the characters are all flat cardboard figures, the dialogue is improbable, the scenes implausible. It includes conjoined "Siamese" twins who are hitmen and spend their time arguing about their sex life, one is gay, the other hetero. They apparently are so inept that they need to discuss beforehand how they will go about doing something like turning around. If it was comedy this might work, but it isn't comedy, there is nothing funny about it. This book is rubbish, not worth reading. It would not pass muster as a comic book, it certainly fails as a novel. There is something extremely suspicious about the number of high rated reviews - I don't believe that they are genuine.
