Funny, but flawed.
The first part of the book I really liked, a recognizable character and funny writing. The second part was not as good: an uninteresting love interest, combined with an uninteresting journey.

Kunkel can write very funny, but his plotting could use some work.

I loved the narrator. The narrator was unique, and funny. The writing was superb. But.. I didn't really care for the protagonist. A book I won't remember, or recommend .. . .
