It's easy to say that this is a story about two "losers" but I hesitate to say this knowing friends who are very much like the characters in this book, Dolores and Serena. Both have a sense of entitlement (Serena especially). Both over-indulge in drug use and anti-social behavior, and finally go too far in alienating everyone around them. This is a satire, yet the situations and dialogue are very real. But I enjoyed this book a lot. This a great book to bring along on a long trip; it's easy to read. Richard Perez can really write. Not exactly like Bukowski, but Bukowski-influenced, you can tell. The dirty parts are fun.
