Denise’s Reviews > The Best of Simple: Stories > Status Update

This book is interesting in that it is like a sitcom where I could see it playing in 30 minute episodes. It makes it really easy and fun to read. Jesse Semple (Simple) is a mess, but he will always do things his way. Each chapter is a dialogue between Simple and our narrator, who is very wise and always tries to get reality out in front of Simple- he just fails to bite. And, oh, the consequences. Likable characters.

This is going to go quickly. I like Hughes' Semple character.
