First Moore book I've read. Very much a book you can tell was written in the 90s by it's sense of humor and perspective. Still has it's fun parts. I chuckled a few times, but mostly the plot and events were a little too 'gee lookit how ZANY this is'. I enjoyed it though. The ending was fun and all was well that ended well. I'll try anothee Moore book in the future for sure, especially since this was his sophmore outing. I'd like to see how he grows as a writer.
