I think you will. I love cooky characters that are unpredictable and this book had quite a lot of them. and the writing brings in that old-world feel, making it even better.

I'm busy reading the second book. It makes me think of an old detective film crossed with sin city. It's really cool.

Thanks for the honest review.The explicit scenes make it a no no for me.But who knows,I may round up to it eventually.
