4.0 out of 5 stars A great read! June 4, 2012

Format:Paperback

Anyone who likes Mordecai Richler will like Jon Tucker's debut novel. Such a great read. Strong characters, especially the colourful Irving, coupled with a unique plot had me enraptured. And I even laughed out loud a few times--which is rare for me! I'll be curious what this author comes up with next.

5.0 out of 5 stars sharp, acerbic and clever! May 30, 2012

Tucker can write characters like nobody's business. They jump off the page and into your imagination like fire crackers, where they tickle your funny bone and keep you thinking long after you've closed the cover. He writes women the way they want to be written - smart, tough, curious, funny and sexy, with a longing for adventure and an impatience for fools. The story twists and turns with originality, never predictable and always intriguing. Tucker is a fresh original voice on the comedy scene. Only he could make you root for a Putz like Irving. I can't wait for his next one.

I really enjoyed this first novel by Jon Tucker. The pages turn quickly and on many occasions I found myself laughing out loud as I read. Very recommendable.
