This was a fun book, not taking itself too seriously. I enjoyed the light-hearted feel. The main character is an idiot, but you can't help wishing him well. Thank goodness for the women in his life. 

The narration is very good and easy to listen to. I had read a review about the frequency of "Dandelion Summer" so I was conscious of it, but it actually just made me chuckle. 

It isn't a classic, but I did enjoy listening. Not that long, but loads of funny silliness.

This was just ok for me. I have heard of this for some time and decided to check out one of the books. This one isn't apart of any series that I can tell. Basically two misfits find each other and get involved in a mystery of his past. It was not my favorite but not bad. I want to check out a couple more (one of each series) before I make a final judgement.

I really enjoyed this book; the characters, the plot, the locale, everything. A fast, light read.
