Granted, I should've posted this when his book was "fresh" in my mind. However, Joe Meno's book, Hairstyles Of The Damned is an excellent read with well rendered characters and seamless transitions between paragraphs.
Joe Meno's Hairstyles Of The Damned
reading this book for the second time...still as good as the first time around. i love that the language is "crude" and "obscene" because he doesnt try to sugar it up or anything, he just tells it how it is. boy detective fails and how the hula girl sings are really good too.
i liked the boy detective fails more then hairstyles.
Question for those that read the boy detective fails.
When reading did you think that the world the book was set in was a crazy world with no laws of physics?
Or a world normal but that Billy Argo was insane and all the coocky things that happpened were just inside his head?
I didn't think either of those things. It was more that the perception of reality was different for Billy and those around him. Physics or sanity was never the question. Billy was making sense of the world with the information he had and the trama that burdened him. Just because it wasn't what the general population thinks doesn't make it any less real. For me it was all about perception.
