Warning: Most of the middle section, wherein Edgar is an inmate (no better word for it) at an Indian school, is downright painful to read. Despite that, this book was a delight. The character of Edgar was great -- definitely all the better for the retrospective p.o.v. -- with many hilarious moments. The plot was anything but predictable, peppered with Udall's many curve balls.

I picked this book up because I really enjoyed The Lonely Polygamist, and I wasn't disappointed.
