Well worth the money!

Any book that has Motorhead references early on will keep you reading. Quick and funny! Keeps you turning the pages and laughing all the the way. Still looking for my wayhone.

THIS NOVEL ROCKS!

Forget those reviews. Critics are squids. This book is super cool. Like Jack-in-the-box super taco's and cactus cooler. It's junk food literature, porno for bookworms- word candy. But super cool all the way. The characters are interesting and realistic southern californians, and their struggles and victories are vividly told. The joy of reading Fast Sofa is not only the story and the plot, but how it is written- exellently and interestingly told. Craven is an masterful storyteller. The characters have distinct voices and are clearly different than faceless stereotypes. I've read this book three times, I wish Bruce Craven writes another soonAlso recommended: The Patricidal Bedside Companion, Generation X (not as good as Fast Sofa)

Fast-Paced Shockability

I read "Fast Sofa" in 1993 when a friend was about to throw it out. From the first page to the last, I totally immersed myself into the story. I wanted to become Rick Jeffers and lead his life if just for 330 pages. When you find yourself wanting to become a character in a novel, you know the story rocks. "Fast Sofa" is a heavy metal explosion of words and images. Get this book! You won't regret it!

This book ROCKS!!!

Had a blast reading it. Only book I can compare it to is "The Informers" by Ellis. Fits into the "Less than Zero" type of story. Guess you had to have an adolescence like this to understand. Highly recommended to "the troublemakers" out there.
