Query: What an odd story told in an odd way by an odd character...

I am reviewing this from the perspective of having heard it as a book-on-tape.Archy McNally, the self-proclaimed 'Bon vivant' narrates an odd story that is made all the more odd by his continual need to turn a clever expression - nearly in every sentence! It gets to the point where it is distracting! The characters are pretty two-dimensional. Some seem like they were stolen right out of a high school production of "The Great Gatsby" - stereotypes of what we might suspect the rich and famous might be like. Heck, the only rich guy I liked in the book was killed! (on the other hand, I liked the cop and the dog.)If it were not for the absolutely great voice work of Boyd Gaines it probably would not have been palatable for me. If I could give a seperate star for voice work,his would be a 5.
