Unusual(the hero is an anti-hero), entertaining, ribald tale
I picked up the audio version of this book at the library and found I was forced to listen to one tape after another, I just couldn't stop listening.As other reviewers have noted it is, for modern times, a politically incorrect tale with racial and sexual descriptions, language and actions that will offend some. But on the whole it comes off very well, especially when considering that the 'hero' is really an anti-hero. And that his thoughts and actions can be viewed as a parody of the self-serving, self-interested and self-promoting individual (or something like that).Anyway, it is a worthwhile, entertaining story and the reading (of the audio version) by West is excellent.
