I've just started this...but after about 37 pages I am almost to the actual "novel." If the novel is as good as the rules, preface, acknowledgments and table of contents it should be a fun ride.

Well. I'm not sure what to say about this one. It is a story of a young man who loses both parents to cancer and raises his young brother. It could be a very touching or at the least a picture of a twenty-something struggling with life's blows but it doesn't quite reach that goal. The author is often rambling and has a tendency to jump around from point to point. I wondered if he was trying to be like James Joyce. That said I did enjoy some of this and the rules, preface, acknowledgments and the "Mistakes We Knew We Were Making" were perhaps the highlights of the book.

Released on Tuesday, November 26, 2002 To another BookCrosser in Springfield, Missouri USA.
