Poorly written, unfunny, ridiculous dialog

This book tries to be a crude satire of crime novels, and there are a couple of good sentences, but on the whole, the author has no talent for either dialog or story telling. It's painful to read the transparent attempts to be clever that fall flat because if the lack of writing skills.
