I read this all in one sitting on a flight home after a trip to New Orleans. I'd had high hopes for it. The blurbs were over the top in their praise of the writer, and it is true that the book was both sly and funny. I enjoyed it and was happy to have its company for my plane ride. Still, it wasn't all I hoped. When a book receives praise as lavish as this one has, I get expectations, and this slim volume just failed to live up to them. I'm not sorry I read it, but I won't be reading it again. That said, I'd certainly be willing to give another of his books a go.
