content: I wanted to read this book because everybody told me that it was the funniest thing they'd ever read. There were a couple of parts that made me chuckle, but I never at any point had to put the book down because I was laughing too hard. Despite this fact, the book is still good and worth a read. Also, I could see how someone nostalgic for "old" New Orleans (pre-Katrina, mostly) might enjoy this book.One thing is for certain. O'Toole definitely showed some promise, and it's a shame he didn't live to grace us with more literature.
