Russell Fink is twenty-six years old and determined to salvage a job he hates so he can finally move out of his parents’ house for good. He's convinced he gave his twin sister cancer when they were nine years old. And his crazy fiancée refuses to accept the fact that their engagement really is over.Then Sonny, his allegedly clairvoyant basset hound, is found murdered.The ensuing amateur investigation forces Russell to confront several things at once—the enormity of his family's dysfunction, the guy stalking his family, and his long-buried feelings for a most peculiar love interest.At its heart, My Name Is Russell Fink is a comedy, with sharp dialogue, characters steeped in authenticity, romance, suspense, and fresh humor. With a postmodern style similar to Nick Hornby and Douglas Coupland, the author explores reconciliation, forgiveness, and faith in the midst of tragedy. No amount of neurosis or dysfunction can derail God's redemptive purposes.

— Amy, 2/5/2014" refreshing, quirky read. "
— Jonathan, 1/22/2014" This was one of the many FREE books I've downloaded onto my Kindle. I actually really liked this book (although only 3 stars because the writing although funny, was hard to follow at times). I recommended this book to my sister because I thought it was funny and she could relate to the main character's outlook on life. If you have a Kindle...definitely download. "

— Vicki, 1/2/2014" This was wacky and well-written. The story was a bit loose, however. "
— Sheen, 12/25/2013" Great book about life and the challenges that some people face. Also a good reminder of what faith can do when you least expect it. Wish the dog would have had a bigger part in the story. "
— Lora, 12/19/2013" Interesting book about a young man and all his hangups. It took me longer to get through that it should, but the book was enjoyable. "
