I'm always wary of books other people dub laugh out loud,  because often I don't even break a smile when that happens (I must have some Stephen in me!) but this book did actually make me laugh out loud.  I just loved Stephen, with all that hostility and grumpiness and intellectual capacity, surrounded by fools and shooting himself in the foot.  And then there is Doug,  who is beautiful and sunny and not smart,  but somehow perfect for Stephen.  There were lots of quips worth noting - early on this is Doug's observations of Stephen -"He was always carrying around his thick black binder, which he would open and write in,  keeping one arm over the top of the page an looking up every few minutes to make sure no one was standing too lose to him.  Doug suspected that Stephen was making a list of people he was going to kill."Even the side characters were witty and three dimensional - Wilson points out when Doug asks him questions - "I am a drug dealer," he explained.  "The answer to all your questions will be: drugs."These are characters I enjoyed spending time with.  I rate this a keeper and a happy find.
