The world needs more books like this! Tired of stuffy, heavy literary crap that’s difficult to read and leaves you depressed? Here’s the antidote. Carl Hiassen’s demented characters meet Douglas Adams’ narrative style. The story is a bit disjointed, but that’s part of the fun. Overall it’s enjoyable and easy to read. Several times I literally laughed out loud.

The writing could use tightening and some minor grammar fixes, but this doesn’t take away from the experience. I hope Boylan writes more. The strangeness and light-hearted pace compelled me to read the book in just a few days. Great stuff! Let's see some more!

A bizarre and funny book with surreal twists and lots of laughs. It dargged a bit about two thirds through, but the ending was hilarious and unexpected. Definitely a silly read but fun.
