Hilarious and bizarre

This is one of the funniest books I've come across in ages and even when I wasn't laughing out loud, I was grinning from ear to ear. Patrick Wilson apparently will play the lead in the movie adaptation, which should be brilliant. If there is first-person narration in the same tone as that of the book, it will be hilarious. I'm recommending this book to anyone who loves to laugh.

Is the Chinese guy the father?

I will die if Frank Hollin doesnt tell me. Frank I emplore you. Remeber that time in Fair Hope when.................. ehhh never mind

Laughing All the Way

In the beginning, I despised Hollon's protagonist, Barry Munday. Did I want to spend time with this sex obsessed man who doesn't like his only friend, doesn't particularly like himself, or his girlfriend, or her dog, Boner? Well, yes, I decided. Somehow I was hooked and had to keep reading. Happily, I discovered my disdain for Munday was a credit to Hollon's fine writing because I went from hating Barry Munday to loving him and laughing all the way.

Absolutely fabulous!

Frank Turner Hollon is brillant. I enjoy reading dark humor and this is the best I have ever read. I am going to give copies to friends for Christmas. ENJOY!!!!

Beyond funny

This book is exceptional. It made me laugh, cry, and feel empathy for the characters in the six hours it took to read this book. I really don't even have the words to describe how this book made me feel. It is a very quirky, quick paced, comical book. The neuroticism of the characters make you realize that your life is exceptional. I would recommend this book to any and everyone.
