I actually copped an advanced reader's copy that came into our store a little over a week ago. I just finished this last night... 09/13 ;)
I must say that Chuck's novel writing style isn't as different as his cult crit pieces, but there were some charming parts to it. Pretty much a novel that focuses around 3 very different characters in the 80's in middle America having abnormal/ normal tendencies (same thing)and getting caught in some death trap blizzard of a storm.
Only complaints... too much football talk (especially between Julia and Vance's bar convo) and too much use of 'fuck' in the first half of the book (feel's like Chuck is trying to hard for some edginess). All in all, pretty innocent, somewhat predictable... definitely better towards the end.
