Found this in the "bargain bin" here a few weeks ago. I do a lot of waiting in my job and I use books on my iPad to pass the time. I also have a hard time paying 12 bucks for something that doesn't include paper that can be passed along when I'm done. Anyway I always look for interesting books that may be in genres that I might normally pass over for a full priced book. This is one of those books, quirky, wyrd and very enjoyable. I can't believe that with 5 stars from 24 readers no one has written a review. This was a fun book with interesting characters. Tolstoy it ain't but who wants to read Tolstoy during your lunch hour! I look forward to other books from this author.
