the humour in this is what captivates every one of it's readers. irving creates a special kind of relationship between his characters and his readers, you care about what happens to then when you aren't reading the book and when it's over you can just sit there for a time just thinking about it. personally this book was an impulse buy after a traumatic day, books are cheaper than smack and much better for your health. definitely worth it, i sat up reading it all night. buy it, you won't regret it.
