A best seller in Europe, Pablo Tusset's wickedly funny debut novel follows the hilarious, boozy, libidinous, and occasionally dangerous travails of Pablo "Baloo" Miralles, the wholeheartedly dissolute thirty-year-old black sheep of the staid Barcelona finance titans of Miralles & Miralles. This renowned Internet blogger, daytime sleeper, and dedicated hedonist is yanked into family business matters when the president of the business, his older, accomplished brother, disappears. Thus begins The Best Thing That Can Happen to a Croissant, an easy-riding, reluctant-detective story. Tusset's prodigious talents as both a satirist and creator of one of the most hilarious underachievers in recent memory make this an exquisitely entertaining read.

    This is a very good book for those who want to improve the english vocabulary of bad words. It's plenty of "SH*T" and "F*CK" and those words. However, I have to admit that it's also a little bit entertaining. But I also have to say that it is highly dissappointing. In other words: if you are one of those who think that Da Vinci's Code is a piece of trash, this book is just not for you.

    Oh, man! I just realized that now I am strongly influenced by that style I too much regret! I hope that a couple of weeks reading some good books will make me forget about this way of talking and writing.

    About the book: it is about some sort of mystery that is never ever solved. There are about 500 pages of expectation, and then you get to an end that can be anything from extraterrestrial abduction to spiritual and living death world.

    The intriguing story helps going on reading, but I would have never red this book in my mother tongue, but I would strongly suggest it as a pleasant reading on the beach, on the bus, waiting for the train that will take you on holidays and so on. I have bought this book during a study trip to Greece, and it was my trustful companion whenever I got bored traveling!
