This is a really interesting book. I disagree with premise of it being "laugh out loud". It is amusing, especially in the beginning. However, as I got into it my perception changed from being amused to being sympathetic with the struggles of the main character. Many of the situations are indeed funny, but underlying that is the reality that the situation is a result of a difficult condition.

Its an intriguing book that is hard to put down. ( )
