This is a 2.5 star for me. I enjoyed parts of it but I didn't find it hilarious as it is supposed to be. I am not a great fan of funny books but this one was clever and cute in some parts. I did like how the historical events were written into Allan's life.

What a funny and crazy book. The ups and downs and nonsense just made me chuckle.
