Busy Monsters by William Giraldi

3.0

The main character, Charlie, is a memorist who writes a column for the “New Nation Weekly”. Story is about his madcap adventures, trying to win back his wayward fiancé who has gone in search of a giant squid. Charlie speaks in an archaic manner and has lots of strange friends. When it was funny, it was really funny. But overall the gags wore out and there was at least one adventure too many for my taste. I liked the jail scenes the best. It might make a good movie.
