A great fiction tale from a brilliant academic author

I have read several of Quincy's other books and have had the pleasure of being one of his students for my undergraduate degree, This book is a brilliant mixture of Quincy's abstract mind and beautiful fluidity as a fiction writer. A must read for all fans of unlikely heroes

Charming, funny, rude.

This is really fun. I received it as a gift, and read the first five chapters out loud to my family and friends last Christmas. Then they took the book away from me and hogged it to themselves. It is very funny, but sad as well, becasue the hero is the retarded younger brother of a rich guy who dies and leaves his care to the dumb blonde wife. Some of it is very rude: as one of my friends said: "there is an active twelve year old alive in that guy Quincy". She is correct, I think, but more importantly, here is a protagonist that is not smart, or clever or pretty, and we all loved him. The dog too. Good fun and good for us.
