    <body><![CDATA[Disappointing, truly.  First, almost nothing actually happens within the present timeline in which the book is written. It's a string of stories told over a glass of rum. As a result, it reads like a &quot;best-of clips&quot; episode of a sit com (and is about as interesting).<br/><br/>You get to ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49153375">more...</a>]]></body>
