It was no xXx, but then again, it was no xXx. Meaning it wasn't really action-heavy, but it wasn't really fucking stupid either. If it had had more of Samuel L. Jackson saying "motherfucker" and kicking ass, it would have been really enjoyable. I mean, violence and drugs and bathtub sex are fucking righteous. And Americans driving on the wrong side of the road in Liverpool. I also wanted some more actual Liverpudlians, since I love that accent.

Wow, what a great fucking novel. It was preachy in parts but you didn't mind at all. I mean it wasn't ever really overt, just sort of in asides. I don't usually like it when authors come right out and say stuff directly, but he managed to pull it off. And besides that it's just a really amusing and interesting story, well, two plots, anyway, the people and the inanimate objects. I did find the "what is art" debate a lot more interesting than the "religion is stupid" bits, just because, well, duh. I didn't mind so much when the characters were debating religion, but when the author comes right out and says stuff, it's a little "preachy." But again, not overly, coulda been worse. And the setup for it was pretty good. I got all suckered in, man. Not that I'm complaining.
