I got this book from a public reading booth. Thought it might be interesting, but when I first started reading it I was fewling bored. Well written, but the first 80 pages or so were sooooo slow paced. It would take a whole chapter for our guy Tommy, aka Tofu Boy, to leave a room, for instance. 80 pages foe him to bring a rag doll home, and then rum away from it until he finally comes across some blonde that helps him out. Once our blonde Del jumps in to save our guy in distress, things move faster, at high speed... by car, by boat.
It becomes a race for their lives, although they do not know exactly why and what is after them, as its nature remains misterious until the end.
Add a traditional mom, a sassy other, whimsical buttler, and a damn smart dog, and a lot of humour.
It ended up being a great, fun read.
