Most Funny

I find this book to be extremely funny. I enjoyed his book "Going Postal" a great book, but liked this book a bit better. I find his view of the world so refreshing, I am sitting on pins and needles waiting for his next book.

Yeah!

The Scoundrel rocks! I thought the description of dating was all too painfully true and the descriptions of food made me hungry. The book made me laugh, it moved me, it made me think. What more can you ask for in a book! Keep up the great work, Stephan. I eagerly await the next.

Jaramillo's a comedic genius...

I've been a long-time fan of Stephen Jaramillo -- the kind where you hunt the author down and force him into having dinner with you somewhere so that you can decide once and for all which one of you is more demented. As such, I've been reading since his first novel, and was anxiously awaiting the release of _The Scoundrel_ with baited breath and something approaching psychotic devotion to the mailman who would be delivering it. I was not disappointed.This book, a far cry from the fast-paced, nearly slapstick feel of his last, shows a diversity and depth that the first two can't touch. There were moments that I laughed until my sides hurt, and others that I had to put the book down physically to regain composure before continuing. It's well worth the money spent, and won't disappoint readers of his previous work, while extending the emotional spectrum to draw in some that may not have been hooked by the previous two.Now, move that mouse under your hand to the "buy this book" button and give yourself something to read this summer while you're lounging by the pool. I'll be hunting down the author.

A truly delightful book to read.

Stephan Jaramillo's third book tops his earlier two which I enjoyed immensely. Carl's girlfriend dumps him, and he is determined to enjoy his single life with as many chicks as he can find. All does not go well for Carl; he meets some quirky women and finds that meeting the right one is difficult, at best. I found myself hoping he would be successful in his pursuit of the opposite sex. Reading a book by Stephan Jaramillo is indeed enjoyable. Few authors can make me laugh as hard as he does. His descriptions of setting and characters are superb. I could smell the fragrance of the kitchen in the restaurant and feel the gloomy damp atmosphere of an El Nino storm. Keep writing them, Stephan, you have a devoted following.

Great F---king Book

Stephan Jaramillo is one of the most gifted writers I have seen in a long time. He has the ability to write books for the 20 something generation without all the gratuitous pop culture referances that bog down so many other writers. Do not listen to any other review on this board. BUY THIS BOOK!
