bonfire is a schizophrenic read in that the deep and numerous characters keep this work moving all over the scale. one minute you're in the head of a crack dealer and the next in the pants of a money marrying trollop from the south. if you elect to read this i suggest taking long pauses in your day to spend in its pages else you may find yourself spending as much time recalling what circle of society your currently visiting as you do actually reading the text. overall bonfire tells an entertaining story but smacks of a lot of work ingesting it.
