Yovu take an average guy and insert him into a club full of serial killers. Not only is he not appalled, but in order to stay in the club (when members singularly realize that he may not actually be one of them), he becomes one of them by becoming a serial of serial killers. Very humorous and very ironic. (  )bookwormteri | Mar 7, 2008 | debra_hamel | Feb 24, 2008 | I really wanted to like this book. It seemed like a fairly orginal premise, but it just didn't keep my attention. I did not care about any of the characters and only finished it through shear force of will. (  )sarahjanesandra | Oct 11, 2007 | 1  BOOK #21 REVIEW: I highly enjoyed this book. Povey's fast moving story, humor and wit is wonderful (I actually found myself laughing out loud!) and I love how "un-hero" Dougie is. I have to say I fell for the plot devices and thought I knew how the book was going to end and was overjoyed when it went another direction- I hate being smarter then the author/main character! If you're looking for a great twist on the "normal" book, pick up this one! (Sorry this review is a little crazy- I've had too much coffee to make any sense!) FAVORITE QUOTES: That's good. A lot wight is always good. A main light tends to add a starkness, the low light adds mystery and a black-and-white B-movie nuance. // When I finally arrive at my intended destination, I feel so down that I tip the driver only a quarter, because depression like this should be shared. // I feel like someone trapped in the eye of a hurricane; the world is spinning around me, and the air is getting sucked from my lungs.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0446578428, Hardcover)When our hero finds himself in the path of a serial killer, he somehow manages to defend himself, and give the blood-thirsty madman a taste of his own medicine. But when he goes through the dead mans wallet, he finds a mysterious personal ad inviting him to join a party hosted by Errol Flynn. What begins with passing curiosity soon becomes uncontrollable obsession, as our hero becomes acquainted with 18 killers. Their game: to share the thrill of the hunt and to make sure no two members choose the same two victims. To protect their identities, they have all chosen names of old Hollywood stars, and before long, our hero becomes Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. But he has no intention of following the rules. With a government special agent on his trail who will soon become his partner in crime, Dougie plans to knock off the killers one by one, from Carole Lombard to Chuck Norris, to Laurence Olivier and Cher. But what will happen when the stars notice their numbers dropping....?(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:01 -0400) The first test round has been closed.

The mean character ends up joining a serial killers club and finding true meaning in it, but then he has to deal with another serial killer, a love interest, and an FBI agent who won't go away.
It's pretty predictable.
