The water drops like a shroud on the town of Bixby. Warm, viscous and unnatural, it coats the inhabitants in an unending torrent - and turns them into crazy, hate-filled maniacs. A helpful stranger at a gas station shoves a petrol pump down a customer's throat and squeezes the trigger. An entire cinema queue smashes its way inside the movie house to slice up the dry people within. A loving wife hurls herself at her husband and bounces his skull on the marble floor until it sounds like the back of his head has turned into sloppy wet meat... The rain falls on customers as they enter Bixby's ritziest restaurant - and hurl themselves on the diners within like a pack of starving wolves. It falls on Maureen as she delivers pizza - she delivers a haymaking punch with a rock in her fist instead. And as pretty Denise opens the door to her boyfriend who has come to help her babysit, it falls on him too...

Hehehe... the only thing I remember about this one was one of the main characters was black, and he was teased for having a big wang. I remember it because I was thinking "how can you tease someone for being well endowed? That makes no sense. I'd be high fiving the dude."
Actually, I remember a few other things, but nothing as specific.

I just finished this one but I honestly don't remember the big wang part. I could have totally missed it.
This book was alright. I think there was more that could have been done with it that would have made it better but it was okay. Not one of my favorites, but had parts that made it worth the read.

It was in the first chapter or two, I'm sure... and it was just a brief mention about the black kid's mistreatment at school. I don't remember details, but that one stuck with me for some reason.
