I wasn't entirely impressed with this book to start off with.  The plot was ridiculous and I found the main character of Monty to be incredibly annoying.  It was fairly readable though so I carried on with it.  Monty did improve and was reasonably decent by the end, so that character growth was good.  I found Felicity to be a far more interesting and appealing character even so.  The plot-line got even more ridiculous and I couldn't quite tell if it was intended to be taken seriously or for laughs.  It seemed to swing between the two.  I was mostly surprised that there wasn't more in the way of sex in it, it seemed to be the one main thing that was missing!  All in all, it was a quick read that didn't require much thought.  It's probably good for a summer read.
