Negative Positive
Title: A gentle and quirky book with a lot to love
Review: Palin was always the "lamb" of the Pythons, more quiet humor than the in-your-face bomastics of Chapman or Cleese, and it shows in this winning 1st novel. Centered on a "rite of passage" of one Martin Sproale - mild Postal worker and closet Hemingway buff. As an outsider comes in and turns his world (centered around the post office) wonk, Martin turns to an American Hemingway scholar and evokes the spirit for himself. Charming as can be (and even laugh out loud funny), one senses the real Palin throughout these pages.
