perhaps this isn't very important, but i totally disagree
about the end of NOTHING PERSONAL. i think it's *immediately*
clear how utterly horrible the consequences of the book's
events have been. i was actually very angry when i finished
that book, because i thought the deeply disturbing ending had
nothing whatsoever to do with the tone of the book as a
whole-- it seemed somehow like a low blow, to end a generally
aggressively pathetic/funny book on such a note. i felt
strongly enough about it to not want to read any more jason
starr. again, though, it's just my opinion.
