Review: Uprorariously Funny!

I must give Mr. Inman kudos for writing yet another outrageous, hysterically funny, book. It is so very rare that I actually laugh out loud while reading (what would my Kindle think?), but this will be the second book in a week that drove me to paroxysms of uncontrollable laughter.The characters, themselves, are painted in the broadest strokes, including Dill's mother, the shrew, who keeps asking when he will be bringing a nice girl home for dinner, ignoring the fact that she's known her son was gay for more than a decade. Or the grandfather, who is older than the planet, wears pants hiked up to his throat, eats enormous amounts of food and has, lately, become a bisexual menace to much of San Diego. And then there is the lovable Hector, the beautiful young Latino, he of the silky, hairless  skin (and only 5'4" to Dill's 6'3"), the hot "member" and the furry butt and legs.And what is with John Inman's  body-hair obsession - in this and other books? I'm glad the ones I've read, so far, are comedies, because if they relied on the sex scenes, I'd be giving a very different review - his vivid descriptions of rimming hairy holes just don't do much for me. But hey, for you fans of hairy butts and forested legs, you'll really enjoy them.There's not much I can say about the plot, except that I finally understand the reason someone coined the word "madcap".A diverting and funny read. Good for passing a few hours with a smile on your face.
