I found this book to be a bit tedious in the detail. I can appreciate the skilled writing, but the amount of minutia encountered on almost every page made it lag for me. I ended up skimming from about halfway through to the end. I have enjoyed other of Baker's books, but not a fan of this one.
A really well written and engaging book. The one thing that is did drive me to distraction is WHY DIDN'T HE SET UP HIS COFFEE MAKER THE NIGHT BEFORE? Some readers might not even notice, but I'm detail oriented to an extreme. Nevertheless, it was any enjoyable and quick read. I love the stories of the duck-I want one of my own!
