Would I recommend this book?
Honestly, no. I didn't really enjoy it all that much. The story was funny, but in a really "out there" sort of way. Not my style I guess. Another thing that bothered me was the fact that there were no chapters. That meant no natural breaks in the story. Just the idea of not having a natural stopping point distracted me - it's a dumb reason not to enjoy a book, but oh well.
