Review: 3.25 Stars: Fun, Action-packed, Raunchy Tale...
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 01 9, 2012
..... about a sentimental, oblivious, PhD-poet wuss who you would just love to kick when he is down.  The main characters, while somewhat stereotypical, are comically entertaining in a black-humor way.  The plot is fast paced with lots of twists and turns.  I compare reading this book to watching a good nighttime soap-opera (like Dallas or Falcon.s Crest... oops, guess I.m revealing my age).  Requires the reader to set aside reality (no, "Come on man" or "Like that would happen" or "No one in the world would..."); to enjoy, put the BS part of tour brain on hold.  Really, I LOLed a few times and giggled through some parts -some of the situations described were that riduculous and funny.I think I would have given this book a higher rating if I felt I could relate to the characters a bit.  It.s obvious the author is talented and can write a funny scene; but, (I won.t go into details here) the characters are too perfectly two dimensional.  Where the author excells is in describing horribly, embarrassing situations (we.ve all been there - that.s what makes it soooo funny).There were a few typos especially about 2/3rds into the book (sorry, tippos realy destrack me me)).I would recommend this book to my friends and will try another book by this author.
