My type of book. I read it because a friend told me that anyone who is a fan of Monty Python and/or Douglas Adams would find this book hilarious. It does not disappoint. The author wrote the book to impress a girl. He may not have gotten the girl, but he won over this reader. A lightning-fast read with pauses only for laughs. I highly recommend this wonderful book, and I am thrilled that Defoe has already produced a sequel.
