There are several other funky characters in ''Miss Wyoming'', my favourite being nerdy Vanessa the Finder (you have to read the book to find out more about her).

Overall I liked the book, but less than I expected and I didn't consider it particularly special. If I was to compare it to other novels, I read in the previous 12 months, it would be located somewhere between William Gibson's ''Pattern Recognition''; Martin Amis' ''Money'' and Ben Elton's ''High Society''. It is decidedly better written than Elton (worse than the other two though), has definitely less obnoxious protagonists than ''Money'' and falls very short of the way Gibson managed to put his finger on the pulse of today. To me it lacked breadth and wider picture as well as trying to make me feel sorry for a narrow, self-centred character whose misery seemed to me very much self-inflicted. And I don't believe in the redeeming power of love, so the resolution offered was entirely unconvincing.
