I can't get it out of my head!

More than a week after finishing this book, I'm still thinking about it. It's a puzzle. Perhaps if I reread it, I can figure it out?Extremely well-written, sexy, perversely funny, scary and dark. Myerson is one heckuva writer. What a ride...

Wow!

This book is a amazing! I work in a book store and when a customer recomends a book I usually read it. I am so glad I read this one. Julie Myerson writes with honesty I only dream of writing of.

Hypnotic!

While reading "Me and the Fat Man" I kept telling myself I hated it. I didn't like any of the characters, mainly because they didn't like themselves. However, the story would not let me go--I couldn't wait to see what in the world would happen to these people next. This book is a short read and well worth the couple of hours I spent on it.
