A very funny book, but now feels a little dated with some of the references and some of the language used isn’t appropriate in today’s society.
James Zoole is going through a rough period in his life: his best friend died a couple of months before, he has been robbed twice in a couple of months, his girlfriend is leaving him, he lost his job and then he finds a burglar under his bed attempting to rob him for the third time. What follows is a ridiculous set of circumstances that meant I just couldn’t stop reading to find out what more could possibly happen between James and his burglar, Vito.
The book is quite dated now, and you can tell it wasn’t written recently, but this doesn’t detract from how fun the story is. Worth a read if you can look past some of the language and references.
