I feel like there was some bait and switch business going on with that description of a “funny” book. It wasn't really fun. Dark, desperate and sad, but tinged with hope. Larry is sweet and pretty close to a typical teenage male who is trying to find his place while dealing with some pretty heavy mental baggage.

For lack of a better description this was quite a coming-of-age book that I wish had been a little longer so I could follow Larry along for a little while longer.
