I agree, though even an incoherent mess like _The Golden
Gizmo_ has the hypnotic Thompson beat to it: in other words,
try to stop reading it once you've started...
I thought _Heed The Thunder_ was a very strong novel. I first
read it when a handsome hardcover edition came out, maybe 10
or 15 years ago. His writing has considerable power even
without the element of crime or weirdos.
