This book continues the madcap adventures of Nick Twisp.
In the beginning of this book, Nick and his girlfriend Sheeni, are happily living in a rented house after the success of Nick's invention. However, their respective sets of parents soon confiscate all the cash and this forces Nick to run away and plot his reunion with Sheeni, who is playing him the whole time like in the first book.
Payne is a modern comedic genius. I place this book and its predecessor in the same class as John Kennedy Toole's Confederacy of Dunces. The pacing is manic and the action nonstop. Just when you think that it can't get any zanier, Payne pulls another trick out of his hat.
This, and Youth In Revolt, are the funniest books I've ever read.

I first read this back in 2001.
Všechny Nickovy vynalézavé a dobrodružné eskapády a intriky směřují zdánlivě pouze k jedinému cíli: Zbavit se potupného panictví a získat ženu svého srdce, krásnou a talentovanou Sheeni, jedinou "intelektuálku" v Ukiahu.
