Must be me. I just didn't really get what was compelling about this book. It had humor. It had good characters. I guess I was expecting more depth. Not just a story about a grumpy man that you learn to love. Maybe that's all there is to it and I was overthinking this whole thing. It took me forever to read it, but I got sick halfway in between (not the book's fault.)

It's well done. It's just my expectations were out of whack when it came to what was involved in reading this book.
