It would be one of my desert island books - from sheer length and episodic readability. It's like a made-for-TV-series with gore and sex and continent-wide scope. Not worldwide, but hey. That would have made it even longer!

I'm not saying it's a great book. But it's a bloody good read.
BTW - the Pop Tart comes later. But I can't give you any more details if it's your first time round.
It's not a seminal plot point - it's a tiny detail. I only remember it because it made no sense to me at the time - but anything else I write would be a spoiler.

If you're in New York with Larry you will remember his mother sneezing and saying shit. That stuck with me a while too. I sneeze at any given stimulus - including other people sneezing. Imagine me with a throat infection. OWWWWW! Certainly sneezing feels like I have Captain Trips. Just can't say shit now I work in a school.
