This set of great short stories. They are about the life and times of J.T., a security guard. If you think this is a boring sort of protagonist, then you must rethink it all over and wait to read these tales! Be warned: some are heart-warming, others sad... some poigant. One of them even managed to offend my personal set of beliefs (I simply refuse to share a particular viewpoint with the author), but even in spite of that these tales are outstanding pieces of work. You can easily identify with J.T. (The minute he mentioned chocolate syrope and its uses... WHAM! Instant Identification!) and many of those who have been bullied, ignored and permanently been turned down for dates in high school (like moi!) will find the main central tale (the one of Gary, which names this book) quite riveting.
