This isn't your typical mobster/gangster book. A mixture of crime and comedy rolled into one is a surprisingly perfect blend. The writing is spot on. The pacing and the characters' backgrounds were done well. It's extremely witty, jam-packed with dark humour and just simply hilarious, with a few twists along the way. I really can't remember a book that's made me laugh this hard in a long time! John and Billy are quite the pair. They reminded me of the Chuckle Brothers a little. Overall, this was a really quick, fun read, and it was really nice to experience something a little more out there and different.
