Lets get things straight:
To truly enjoy this book, you gotta gloss over some stuff like Hero’s age and some boxing of ears. If you’re able to do that, you’re in for a ride.
The plot of it all is that an entitled, spoilt brat of a man learns that there’s more to life than himself.
Sherry is rich and insufferable but for some damned reason Hero loves him and has decided to stick by him come hell or high water.
The four musketeers and Hero just romp around the town stirring up trouble and pulling everyone into their dramatic antics. I’m fairly sure everyone tolerates these youngsters just because they’re so hilariously self-absorbed and have this intense love for life and good times.
I could have read about the troubles Hero, Sherry, Gil, Ferdy, and George caused for another four hundred pages! The stakes were low and I couldn’t stop laughing out loud while reading. I could imagine them reminiscing about their crazy youth when they are older and, hopefully, slightly wiser.
This is comedy gold and I recommend everyone gives this a read if they are ready for a devilishly good time.
