Synopsis

When Filthy White Guy buys about a hundred burritos and blows up the microwave of the convenience store where Paris Scott has been working for 30 long nights, Paris decides his life couldn't be more of a mess. But when he gives Filthy White Guy a ride home to a Bel Air mansion, things really start to explode. From the dark desperation of Los Angeles to the false neon hope of Las Vegas, acclaimed author John Ridley steers a viciously careening ride through a world of dope dealers, Hollywood agents, two-bit felons, and three-dollar strippers. Narrator Peter Francis James expertly voices the flamboyant longings of people who will pay any price to flirt with a dream-even if it's someone else's.

Fast, dirty, and wrong in all the righ......more

I really enjoyed this book. It's dark, the language is interesting and it's certainly not for everyone. If you like tragedies and books where nothing is resolved and life just goes on, more messed up than before, you might like this one.......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on August 28, 2017

Holy Shit! This book was beyond fantastic, the writing style was both humorous and grotesque at the same time, lacking in neither. Wickedly entertaining to read, you cannot put this sucker down. It was as if I was reading Grand Theft Auto: The Novel... Read this book if you want to experience the de......more
