This addictive odd book grabbed me from the first line. The chapters are brief but our narrator, Sid, is warm, interesting, neurotic, funny and ultimately, very likable. I cared about his crazy. This book could have easily gone into cloyingly quirky but instead kept it's slightly melancholy edge. There's real sadness, heartache, and pain in Sid's adventure and I was an eager companion the entire way.
