Thanks for the advice from a previous reviewer that the best way to enjoy this was to switch off your brain first. Unfortunately the problem here is that someone appears to have given that exact same advice to Mr Kuzneski before writing it. There are some mediocrely written passages here, but for the most part it wavers between sub-standard, poor and laugh-out-loud ridiculous. The humour is pathetic frat humour at best. The sort that if Mr Kuzneski took his bag of jokes on the stand-up circuit of the hard-bitten Northern working-men's clubs, he'd have been carried out in a body bag by now. Yes, in fact, that is my recommendation to Mr K: give up writing and go on the stand-up club circuit.
