Incredibly well written, and well thought out book. The aptly named protagonist is frustrating to follow though. May or may not be a reason to dock the rating, but there were times when reading this novel became unbearable.
I loved this book. It is very funny, has a weird love interest which isn't really central to the plot, but also somehow is.
