" Great book. Very funny like <em>The Schwa Was Here</em>, but with more serious undertones (and that's a good thing). "

" Having missed The Schwa was here, this was my first adventure with Antsy, who sets out to help his terminally ill friend by collecting months of life time. And it's a comedy. Mostly. "
