This was a really great book filled with kooky but also, somehow, believable characters. Now, nothing much ever really happens, mind you, but you just keep happily reading on nonetheless. It got just the tiniest bit tedious reading about a 60 year old man who was so totally irresponsible and never really had the aha! moment so I had to remove 1 star, but go ahead, read it. You won't regret it. It's laugh out loud funny.
