Randy and Raymond are brothers who don't have much. They have crummy part jobs with a nasty boss. Ray is a little simpleminded and Randy looks out for him but sometimes resents it. When two men approach them and offer them jobs in a cult like sales operation, Raymond jumps at the chance. Randy, reluctantly, goes along. At one of their first stops, they encounter a kidnap victim whom the rescue and are then regarded as heroes. This was a crazy but well told story. It's not my usual type of fare but I liked it. It's a type of story called transgressive fiction, in which protagonists usually find illegal solutions to problems. Part of what I liked about the book was the bizarre nature of the story, where everything was plausible, but just a little out of the normal realm of possibility. I would definitely recommend it to adults who like stories with a hint of craziness and a sense of illicitness.
