Advantages: Intriguing

Disadvantages: A little odd, perhaps?!

Of course it's not going to 'save your life', it's a fictional book! But I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and I have no idea why. There isn't much of a plot; the story doesn't ever seem to be going anywhere. Richard Novak is a rich man living in LA, who experiences a lot of physical and emotional pain. His whole character appears to be quite childish - he buys doughnuts and makes friends with the shopkeeper, he fears a lot of things, and he lives a life where everything is handed to him on a plate. I loved the way the book was written becuse life seems so easy where the characters live. I think negative reviewers are expecting too much from the story - maybe the title was actually aimed at Richard? Or even the author; I'm pretty sure the money that the book generated certainly helped with life! I would recommend this for an easy yet interesting read. I also love doughnuts so...reading about them is good!

Summary: Easy to read and often funny.
