The first time I read _Fast One_ I found it a difficult rad.
The
sheer number of characters was particularly confusing.
The short story collection, _Seven Slayers_ was a total
contrast and
I galloped through it. So I thought I'd have a second go at
_Fast
One_ -- which I again found to be confusing.
I'm glad that it isn't just me...
