If you like books full of characters that are all creepy, this might be for you. Nick Walsh is thirty-four and an alcoholic basket case. His parents met a violent end which was the final blow to a less than stellar upbringing. This, of course, is his excuse to be one of the neighborhood weirdo who spends his few sober moments spying on his neighbors and being a jack-ass. Clearly not a real sympathetic character but pretty much everyone else in this book is as bad or worse.
I loved the Norah Vincent's 2 non-fiction books that precede this one but this dark tale is not my cup of tea. Not to say that it wouldn't be yours but overall a little too depressing for me.
