Out of character - But out of this world! For someone who's usual reading fodder is historical biogs, this was a bit of a Way Out West choice.. but I've got to tell you, if you can suspend belief, and let the book take you on a ride, it's well worth it!

I bought this book after reading John Dies at the End, which was also published online first, and is a bloody good read (free, if you view it online). This, however, is neither free, nor a good read. It feels like a badly written fiction piece, pulled off the net by a greedy publisher desperate to make a statement. Unfortunately that statement was 'I don't make enough money to employ an... more info
