Save yourself time and money. Read the summary above for the so-called story. Switters is an uninteresting, alcoholic pedophile with a fascination for run-on sentences and strings of useless adverbs and adjectives. A high school English teacher will recognize the style, (or lack of it). Imagine a 5,000 word essay assignment. The child is stuck at 4,000. He then uses the built in Thesaurus on his word processor, and strings as many adverbs and adjectives together to get to 5,000. This tedious story rambles along with a character we don't care about doing things that are so contrived that only a drugged out dullard would consider. This book was a true waste of time.
