I didn't pick up this book for the story. It's obvious, from first glance, that there' snot much there. You can read it in 15 mins. if you're not interrupted.

It's basically about an average guy going through life. Someone's gay, someone dies, someone cheats on someone else, etc. If you're a guy over the age of 25, then you'll find a thought or phrase that you have muttered yourself at some time. But that's about it.

I picked this up because of the design. It's very well done. There's tons of vintage item scans mixed in with original artwork too. But it's all done sparingly. So it's light, roomy and conveys plenty of movement. That alone made it worth flipping through the pages. ( )
