Review: Humor Novel?
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 08 13, 2013
I'm sure there are some people who may enjoy this book, but I am not one of them.  It is advertised as a humor novel, and I found very little humor in it.  The whole idea of a group of mid-thirties men still living in their high school days is hard to understand.  All of the music lyrics sprinkled throughout the book was more of a filler to me than anything else.  I am also not a marathon runner, so the long narrative during a race was, again, not something that enhanced the book to me.I am sure that the ending is a device used by some authors, but I am the kind of reader that likes a happy ending with closure.Some of the characters were very likeable and some of the situations were humorous and sometimes touching, but I was expecting a humor novel with a happy ending!
