I really enjoyed this book, which is trite, I know, but it's true.The first three chapters move slowly, but once the central character enters the "clinic" the action picks up, so does the comedy.I found myself laughing several times, which is rather unusual with written material, and the reunion scene betweeen the father and his badly "damaged" son actually made me cry.This book is worth reading and recommending.
