Title: Poignant characterization
Review: A friend had this book sent to me from Amazon. I wasn't sure I wanted to read it because he said it was funny and since I prefer to read literary works I was dubious about the writing. What a pleasant surprise it was to find it was a very well written portrayal of a transformation. The evolution of the protagonist from a frightened person who lives a limited life, ensnared by his neurosis, to someone whose life gradually blossoms to one of possibilities is finely crafted in this story.One does this book a disservice by referring to it as simply a comedy.Kudos to Steve Martin
