It's bad enough being raised in an orphanage in Brooklyn..but to be an orphan with Tourette's who falls into a gang of petty hoods as he grows...ah! THEN you have a story! The plot's twists are matched by the Tourettic twists of the hero's language. An intriguing tale with a truly odd assortment of characters and absolutely delicious writing. Quite a few gems of wordplay made me laugh aloud.
