Definitely not what I expected, the book mistakes stupid jokes and lame dialogues for satirical humor. While the initial plot idea was intriguing, the book got from bad to worse within just a few pages. My turning point went as far as about 20 percent - after that, I just wanted to get it over with. Any attempt at political satire or cynical comments on nowadays society were drowned in juvenile sex fantasies a never ending parade of childish jokes which made me grimace with pain rather than laughter. Definitely not my kind of book or humor, and now I'm happy to forget about it.… (més)

This was my first advanced readers copy received through LibraryThing. I thought it would be a good break to read this between epic fantasy or sci-fi reads. To be honest this one took a bit to grow on me. The humor was there from the beginning but at the beginning it just seemed like it was all over the place and that the author was just thinking, what else could I come up with to add to the mix. But in time the story did indeed grow on me and by the end I truly did end up enjoying it.

This did turn out to be a nice refreshing read between those epic reads.… (més)
