A funny book that actually will make you laugh out loud. Beautifully written with engaging and unexpected characters. Peter J Smith is a wonderful writer. Even after several readings, it still causes me to laugh aloud. One sees the absurdity of life in this book and, upon closing it, realizes how beautiful that absurdity is. It is a rare gem in a slough of mediocrity.
