I finished this book on the beach, too. It has no easy resolutions, no clean ending, no real summation. It is a journey that you take with the main character as he takes drugs and drinks and follows his friends through the city. He grows up a bit as he wanders through his life, just as any of us do as we move through life on a daily basis. This book is a meandering walk through a life that I am glad I don't have and desperately want sometimes, the life of an underachiever living in the city, just having fun. I felt a part of this book, felt as though I was a bit different after finishing it, the mark of a good book, I believe. I am passing it on to my friend, K, when she finally is settled in a new apartment in the UK. It is good enough to pay the shipping on.
