I bought this yesterday as it was £3 in HMV. I've only read about 20 pages on the bus back home but already I'm loving it. Hopefully it'll get even better.
Has anybody else read it?

I read this in the Summer. I enjoyed it, although it seemed very dated in a way that only 1950's-60's American novels set around the North East USA can. Perhaps of it's time is a better word for it. In a way it's horrible though, and it takes a disappointingly long time for them all to turn into slags.

I read (and loved) it on an Ibiza beach a couple of years ago. I think my friend was reading "Is Harry on the boat?" at the time. Happy days, as a wise man once said.

This is my favourite book of all time.
So yeah, I reckon it's fair to say I like it.

But the end is really fucking depressing. It's like watching Barbarella, and then being told at the end that Jane Fonda and the angel fell out, she got fat, he cheated on her with the evil woman and then sold her to a zoo where she was sexually harrassed by the gibbon keeper, before she was put out of her misery by being used as tiger food.
I still liked it. But I can't imagine why it should be anyones favourite book.
