The Thirty Something Snap is the kind of novel that winds you up, makes you laugh, makes you grin, makes you cry a little and then makes you feel like you've taken a wild adventure right along with Howard Perkins. This is a well written novel that manages to cross the genres from a slap-stick comedy to a romantic drama and everything in between. Mr. Helgasson shows his writing talent as he crafts a stunningly enjoyable novel filled with characters that draw you in, a plot that never stops being entertaining and an ending that is surprising and yet deeply satisfying nonetheless.This is and isn't your average mid life crisis novel; it got all of the same lovable feelings as other books that explore this subject, but it manages to have heart, love, comedy and drama in equal measure while Howard reignites his life with fun, love and a little adventure with his friends. When I finished this I'd certainly been entertained throughout the book from beginning to end, and found myself a fan of the author's for his talented writing and enjoyable plotting.
