Review: Highly engaging and very funny - reminds me of Mr. Bean!

I laughed my butt off while reading this book. It took me back to my youth where we did wild and crazy things (I am embarrassed to admit!). The story is told in first person with the self-depreciating Kieran narrating. This style [first person] is similar to Rick Riordan's way of writing if you are familiar with him. While it is an unusual way to write it works and I thoroughly enjoyed it. You'll fall in love with Kieran and cheer him on through his hapless encounters. You can't help but laugh or want to cry, not at Kieran, but the situations he finds himself in over and over again. This is a very touching book that many of us can identify with. I'm trying to do this review without giving away the plot so I apologize for being vague. Kieran in a way reminds me of Mr. Bean! I do highly recommend this book.
