Well I kinda knew this wasn't my type of book but gargoyles fascinate me so I picked it up. The book is about a man who is wasted and drunk and drives his vehicle off a cliff and both he and the car burst into flames. He is burned beyond repair though the hospital does all it can to save him. I got as far as page 66 before giving up. Up to this point, the patients name isn't spoken so I have no idea who he was other than a pornagrapher. The book is a stream of consciousness (or unconsciousness) of irrelevant facts and his childhood.
The descriptions of the burns and treatment were disgusting beyond measure. I just couldn't figure out why the hospital was performing such heroic measures to save his life when he wasn't really going to have a life at all. I honestly just got disgusted by the whole thing and gave up. I'm sure there is some literary genius here but so not my thing. Oh well, I gave it a try.
