I picked up this book on a whim because I liked The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time so much. Mark Haddon has a special talent for taking you inside the perfectly logical thought processes of his characters. When you realize that the character is completely unhinged, it hits fairly close to home. I read this book wanting to know “what happens” but I came out thinking a lot about myself. A very fun, sometimes disturbing, and always thought-provoking ride.

This was a pleasant and quick read with a sort-of chaotic and fun plot. Not much meat to it, but that little glimmer of madness makes the caper stick a little bit more than it might otherwise.
