Helpful Score: 1

I love this book. There are few books that I will read over and over and fewer movies that I will watch after the first screening. I am all about story and this one -- the tale of a "private detective" (mobster) with Tourette's syndrome who has to solve what happened to his boss/caretaker is a great one! But many readers rightly praise what Lethem does with language. As a writer, that is just the icing on the cake for me. You have to read this -- even if you don't like detective stories. I can't gush enough about it.
