Title: recommended
Review: A light novel that makes for pleasant summer reading. It has good humor, a nice caper plot, and orignal characters - notably, Mr. Briscoe . It has a hilarious reference to the Amazon.com review page to boot. 4 stars though, not 5, as it tries a bit too hard to make sure you realize something was supposed to be funny (as opposed to, say 'A Confederacy of Dunces' or 'Lucky Jim' i.e., books that just ARE funny). Also, most children of pop culture will spot a couple of jokes from other sources : Raising Arizona (p. 213 "Simultaneously?"), and Gilligan's Island of all things (p. 89 "SOS"). Realizing good humor can't be analyzed, it's easy to overlook these minor flaws and say the many postives outweigh a couple of small negatives. This is an accesible -but smart- book you'll enjoy.
