I enjoyed reading this book as it was psychologically stimulating and allowed you to see through the story tellers eyes. What I don't get is why everyone posts that it is so horrifying or evil. I'll admit that Frank is a hair disturbing but not so that I would label this book as one of the most horrifying things I have ever read, like some of the reviewers do.
Enjoy the book for what it is: a tale about a screwed up American in a foreign land!
