Picasso's Errand

Picasso's Errand is by far one of the funniest books I have read in a very long time. His journey takes the reader through a varying array of emotions-so many times I burst out laughing (loudly, I might add) reading this book. Each character was unique and made the story all the more richer. By the time I got to the last few chapters, I realized I had no choice but to keep reading until I finished it. The book has a surprise ending that I never saw coming which made the book even more captivating up until the end. The story never stalls or lags and keeps the reader interested in how things will turn out for Matthew when his journey ends. Definitely a great book and well worth the time spent reading it.

I laughed, I chortled but I never cried........

Hauser's humor will pinch and poke you and then sneak up on you! I read the first chapter in bed and kept waking my wife with my laughter. The personality and character of Mathew Picasso leaps from the pages and allows the reader to "look through Matt's eyes" at everyday life and the many oddities we often overlook. I started to look forward to the introduction and description of new characters, which were entertaining in themselves. The story takes you on a journey that makes you fear for Matt and hate the evil hitchiker. Not since "To Kill a Mockingbird" have I sensed this much fear from a book (and this is a comedy!). The end of the book crashes all of your notions for the driving force behind the "Errand"!
