Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone

I should probably mark what I'm about to say on the calendar- Wait for the HBO series on this one. Personally, this book works too hard to be clever and what the kids these days like to call meta. As in- so self aware that he's a writer telling the reader that he's writing a book. And boy does that cutsieness get tedious in written form. I think it will be less so on the screen. Plus, there were many women in the protagonist's life that were hard for me to keep straight. HBO will make this a non-issue. While I was interested in the crimes- both the 30 year old one and the modern day one- overall this story just wasn't for me.
