I loved this book. Loved it. It's a character study and an awesome, intense story. Read this one if you get the chance.

If you really enjoy books like Choke or Fight Club,or even Catch Me If You Can, this would be a great choice.Story about a man, his searing migraines and his life of crime.

This book had a similar narration to Fight Club and maybe I drew that conclusion because of Chuck Palahniuk's sparkling review on the cover of this book. If you've ever felt the desire to be invisible, then maybe you could relate to this book. It was a quick read that left me wanting more, but I couldn't have seen it end any other way. For fans of Chuck Palahniuk, William S. Burroughs, Irvine Welsh and so on.
