Summary: superb lit
Review: I loved this book. Wynne has a cool, easy, intelligent, original style, unencumbered by the obvious ego that mucks up so many books. He loves his characters, doesn't sentimentalize or trivialize them, just lets us know what's going on in their heads without judgment, superimposed morality or high-flown drama -- these excellent stories show humanity in all its weirdness, beauty and multi-dimensionality. More, please.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: The review from Booklist promises much. All the subjects mentioned in the review are indeed there, but somehow the author managed to make them much less interesting than they could be. Maybe it really is SOMETIMES funny, but I'd rather read Irvine Welsh's Acid House or Ecstasy.
