"Two Little Boys is a crime story. You know all of those 'bizarre crime done by an idiot' stories you read on page 5 of the newspaper? This story is one of those. So I guess you could find it filed under 'White-Trash Darwinist Penthouse-Forum-Influenced Stoner Crime Fiction'."That's an excellent description. The story is written alternating the perspectives of Nige and Dean, two Kiwi mates who have smoked a bit too much dope, perhaps lost a few too many brain cells and killed one too many backpackers. The tone is spot on. The book is a surprisingly sweet love story as well - Sarkies seems to genuinely like the boys.
I loved it. It doesn't take itself seriously and is a great easy read. If you can possibly read it in a stoned Kiwi accent all the better.
