Reviews

[Kyrie · Rating 5 out of 5]

No one else in my family finds this book as out and out funny as I do. It's a collection of letters between a famous author and his way less than famous classmate from high school. This classmate is so excited to know someone famous, he write the author asking about everything from how to get published to how to fix a door. And then the classmate's whole family seems to think the author is a genius, so they write to him. They made me laugh out loud.
