Let's face it, all the characters in this book are spectacular. Greg's dad, a Carnegie Mellon Classics professor who doesn't work much and wears muu-muus and collects weird animal products to eat.

That guy actually may have been unconsciously modelled on my neighbor Matt, a former high school principal who is quite scary when enthused.

I got some fun stares from other people but I didn't care; this book is too funny not to laugh). ...more

I loved the writing style in this book. It made me smile pretty much the whole time. This was definitely a book that I couldn't wait to get back to every time I put it down. I really liked Greg's character.
