Sick City Book

When it becomes old hat and it feels normal to read fiction in which all of the main characters are junkies or addicts of some sort I am guessing it's time to reevaluate my reading material. But I really like Tony O'Neill's writing style. This was much better written than Down and Out on Murder Mile. It's tough material to stomach in a lot of parts. Addicts, violent murders, drug wars, porn (lots of porn), sex, weird sex, gay sex. So if you don't like that kind of heat, stay out of Tony O'Neill's kitchen. I thought it was a great book. Very reminiscent of Irvine Welsh. This would make an utterly fantastic film. It felt like a movie while reading it. I just kept thinking what someone like Tarantino could do with this material and a great script and cast of characters. Guy Ritchie as well if hadn't become such a puss after marrying Madonna. This would be the movie for him to make to bring him back to what he does best, gritty, dirty, sick/funny. The characters are well developed and almost like able even in the state they are in for most of the time you know them in the book. This one will stick with me for a while and definitely stand out as being one of the best I've read this summer.
