Not only is the title a mouthful but the entire text is rather verbose. Although it is wordy some strings of those words are enlightening, some amusing for their outrageousness while others are simply hilarious. I savoured this book in that it had the battiness of Vonnegut while commonly dropping nuggets of real wisdom. Over the course of the book it was easy to "get to know" the protagonist through his outspoken rants - a man I can't help but think is an extension of the author himself. I'd only read B is For Beer (a children's book for grown-ups/a grown-up book for children) and it really didn't do Mr. Robbins justice. The beauty is that there is so much more back-catalog to dig into. Going to curl up in a blanket..
