I didn't read this book for the longest time, because the title gave me the impression that it would be boring. I was very wrong. One of my favorite American authors is Carl Hiaasen, and he praised GGM highly. I thought to myself that Hiaasen is one of the few authors who are actually funny through text, which is exceedingly rare, so his recommendation is noteworthy. Within 10 minutes of starting the book in question I felt shame. I had deprived myself of one of the quintessential actual artists. I was blown away.
