This is a great book, but it made me feel sad, and bad about myself, and bad about life and marriage and family. I think the writing was compelling and interesting but the topics just made me sad. I wouldn’t read it again, but if you like reading about tense family situations then I would recommend it. The author did a great job of presenting the mess of thoughts in the characters head.

(2.5 stars MAYBE 2.75 .. I don’t know hard to tell) 

First off I hate the way this author describes women?? So that was an ick for me. But as for the story, it was pretty slow but overall okay. 

Not a spoiler but I didn’t really understand why this man was always dreaming that he had a prosthetic leg??? That plot line felt unnecessary.. anyway. Overall it was a decent light comedy, but probably wouldn’t really recommend it to anyone!
