It uses the f-bomb a bit much for my tastes, but overall, I really enjoyed this book and even laughed out loud a few times. Definately recommended!!

Laugh-out-loud funny at parts. The first half of the book is superior to the second, but still a great story; I didn't want to put it down and finished the book in a day.

In many ways this book is hard to explain, but a great read. Highly recommended.
