• First Third

  …. is well written and thoroughly imaginative. The rest was gingerbread decoration leading to an ending that was understood in the beginning. Well written throughout with many laugh out loud descriptions. Sort of a Carl Hiaasen of fantasy/magical realism.

• Humor probably didn’t age well

  Before you read, consider that this book was written in 2006 and definitely has the humor of the era. If you can resist clutching your pearls, you’ll be treated to deep belly laughs in every chapter. Filled with death, dogs, d ilfs, and demons.

• Fairly Offensive

  Do yourself a favor and skip this one. It has a really interesting premise but it’s totally ruined by some casual offensiveness. The “beta male mentality” is referenced repeatedly, the Russian nanny has an obsession with bears, the Chinese nanny steals the main character’s dead fish to fry up later, and Minty Fresh, the seven foot black man, is accused of pulling the race card for... talking black-er I think? At the first I thought I was just being overly sensitive, but as I kept ready it became clear that the author wasn’t going to aim any higher as far as the comedy went. To top all of that off, the book just isn’t super engrossing. There’s a lot of focus on making comedy instead of interesting characters. Too bad, I really wanted to like this one.
