" I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Jill and I listened to an audio version of the book, read by Steve Martin, driving back to NY from Michigan. This was the first Steve Martin book I'd ever "read," so I didn't know what to expect. To my great delight, the book was tender, funny, touching, and extremely well-written. This is a "small" story -- you really get into the inner-world of an extremely quirky narrator. Despite that limited viewpoint, however, the story touches on very big issues. I'd recommend listening to the audio book if possible, because I can imagine how just reading the text, without Martin's expert narration, might cause you to miss some of the jokes. "
