Got two-thirds of the way through this one and then quit. Greene tries to be funny and hip and he flops. He perversely chooses as his protagonist the most boring character he can imagine, and then tries to correct this by pairing him up with an Aunt who is more erratic than intriguing. In a writer who was quicker with laugh-out-loud observations, this might still work, but Greene just hopes that by throwing in references to marijuana and foreigners he can get by on quirk. Skip this one.
