"Finally got around to reading this from cover to cover -- and I'm glad I made the effort. For a considerable chunk of the book -- there's something laugh-out loud funny on every page, if not every paragraph. A thouroughly silly and enjoyable read!"
"Humorous. Way better at the beginning when he's just using his amazing sense of humor to set the stage. The references and humor are top notch...at least, if you enjoyed 'Get a Life' and his character in "There's Something About Mary." However, once the plot gets going and things need to become a bit more internally consistent, as well as just move along faster, the humor falls by the wayside, and we're left with an overly unbelievable story and a fairly predictable "surprise" ending, which none-the-less was still fairly entertaining."
"This was funny; I will not deny it. Pitted against almost anything else to be read, however, there are few books I for which I would trade it. I might choose it over, say, genre romances or sparkly vampire novels but that is it. Were I given a time machine (accidental or otherwise, snicker) and the chance to decide again to read it, I would choose something else. Life is too short, really."
