Wait for it...

"The author has one of the most unique voices I've come across in some time; the word choices are clever, if at times a little too clever (there were a few sentences that seemed inserted not to serve the story, but because perhaps the author liked how they sounded?) My main struggle was with the plot; I'm not sure there was one. The story felt like, to quote Homer Simpson, "A bunch of stuff that happened." I didn't find a narrative thread, any stakes for the main character...what was the overall goal? There were shades of Dave Barry's *Big Trouble* or film *The Big Lebowski*; the writer certainly can tap into that particular vein. But it was just a bunch of stuff that happened. 8-)"
