This is Just Exactly Like You by Drew Perry

4.0

This was actually a pretty good book. It was an impulse grab at the library, but completely worth it. Every character is flawed, which is nice. Only the kid is completely innocent and it was interesting to see him learning Spanish. I wanted to kick the wife throughout the story. Every time she had some dialogue, I wanted to kick her. I think that was the point, though. The main character was compelling, and I agree that a mini-golf course or racetrack in the back yard would be wonderful. Mini-golf is endlessly fun. I think kids should be required to play mini-golf. It helps teach important topics like geometry, physics and philosophy. The philosophy because life is not fair and life is hard, just like the par 4. I tilt at the windmills that block my obscenely bright-hued ball.
