Looking for a new book, just finished The Stand which I wasn't too crazy about and have heard some things about this one. Anybody vouch for it?

I read it when it first came out and I loved it. Was actually thinking of doing a re-read.

The book covers 20 or so years of the narrators very colorful life, so there's a lot in it -NYC socialites, vegas stripper types, artsy bohemians, criminals, law enforcement. It's great - I highly recommend you give it a try. It's very long, but that's a good thing.

I also thought it was very good. First 20 or so pages are kind of confusing but it flies after that.

Possibly my girlfriend’s favorite and that’s saying a lot.
I’ve read Secret History by Tartt, which was also great.

I read Secret History and loved it. I need to give this a read.

Read it. Loved it. The plot is just enticing enough to keep you interested, the characters are what you will fall in love with.

It was marketed a couple different ways, but two-thirds of the book is about the protagonist as a teenager.
