Written in a truelly brilliant form of writing, simply captures the essence of the American dream, and LA lifestyle of many, many people. This book entertains, dotes on humour, if the title entails it is going to be deep and meaningful in any way- think again. The story is based around a man who has everything, but is trying to rekindle his relationship with his son and trying to build a social life again- which he manages with great success throughout. Throughout there are significant metaphors which can refer to many things in life, however this book is not cynical in any form, it just captures the pure essence of a lonely man's lifestyle and the changes that take place due to a hospital scare; it all begins when he enters the donut store and meets Anhil. I found this book fabulous in many ways, and I am very keen on reading further books by Homes. My mum didn't enjoy this book, as she said 'it wasn't my usual read'. I however, loved the american feel, and although it can seem ridiculous all these things popping up out of the blue- I loved the ending and I loved the general feel of the book.
****-4 Star Rating
