I was a bit unsure about Keane when I started this book...the slang he uses is kind of annoying. And he's a bit of a cocky asshole. With the slang and the cocky assholery combined I think maybe I was picturing someone who could be on Jersey Shore? But the book held my attention so I continued. Keane's character grew on me and he definitely became a lovable idiot once he stopped being the jerk he was in the beginning of the book. By the end I was convinced - Keane's character is great, even if he uses questionable slang terms. I love ridiculous and over-the-top, so this book has made it onto my short list of all-time favorites.
