Helpful Score: 1

this is a delightful parody of stieg larsson's "the girl with the dragoon tattoo" trilogy. written under a pseudonym by a professor at tufts, the laughs are non-stop.

one must have read at least the first two of larsson's books in order to appreciate just how funny this parody is. the book is all of 200 pages long, and i literally had to stop reading at least 175 times because 1)i was laughing too hard and my stomach hurt, or 2) i was crying so hard from laughing that i couldn't see!

i'll not give away anything about the book except one tiny throwaway line from early in the book; the protagonist "sat in the rectangular 1015-square-foot main reading room." think about it. :)

this is beyond heller's "catch-22." this is beyond national lampoon's "bored of the rings" and "doon." this is the funniest book i've ever read! don't miss it!
