Liked It “Absolute genius! I would happily tattoo half of the quotes from this book on my very skin. It's philosophical, darkly funny and sarcastic, twisting and turning...never quite fitting in any genre. Love it! I've recommended this to everyone who comes into the bookshop.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“I really liked it a lot. I spent a year in Australia when I was in college...so it was fun to read the book with an Australian accent. I was a little afraid because reviews on the front of the book referenced it to Confederecy of Dunces which was not my favorite....glad I read but still. This was long, but very well written and also fairly exciting. It was strange at times...prison...crazy people...but all in all very good. Glad I read it.”

Also some great surprises as the story unfolds....”

“This book is awesome! I have read a lot of books in my day and this is in my top 5. It's very funny, full of dry humor and interesting observations of the society we live in. Here's a quote that sums up a fraction of this whole book.

"I think you should find whoever does your thinking for you and ask them to update."”
“This reminded me of a John Irving novel. A father and son saga this is packed with twists and turns that is reminiscent of funny aberrations you find in a Irving story.”

It has stunningly beautiful sentences.... the only thing I dislike is the disjointedness that brings the storlines together. But other than that it is one o the most hilarious and insightful books I have read in the last years”
