"The Amish Spaceman" was recently recommended to me and at first I wasn't sure if it was my kind of novel, but I have to say that that very quickly I was caught up in this zany comedy of errors that made my day. Stephen Colegrove has crafted a quirky novel that has engaging characters that are as quirky as they are engaging, has strong dialogue that keeps you locked into the characters and a plot that is as exciting as it is wonderfully refreshing. It's not your average comedy novel that relies on raunchy humor and shock value to make you laugh... rather it's the kind of novel that delves into quirky characters that are as different as they are hilarious while using a upbeat plot to cement the zany, laugh-out-loud tone.This is well written with a fun, fast-paced tone that keeps you sucked into Dean's cross-country adventure filled with non-stop laughs and action. The author does a wonderful job of keep this light, fun and off-beat so that when I finished it I felt like I'd taken quite an adventure and laughed until my stomach hurt. Overall, this was hilariously funny and well worth the read.
