Great read to start out the summer because it's light, warm, wise, and funny. Plus we get armchair travels to SF, Paris, Turin, Morocco, India and Japan. The more I got to know Arthur Less, the more my sympathies grew for this unlikely hero.

A great audiobook. Wonderful delivery by the reader, Robert Petkoff. . I wasn’t sure I would like it - there seemed to be a lot of insiders’s humor but about 1/4 into the book, I started to absolutely love this strong, character driven tale. The end was so funny and profound. Deeply moving.! (I’d just finished James Baldwin’s “Another Country” and this was like “Whoosh” ... propelled 45 years into the future!
