The book was leant to me - don't think I would have read it otherwise! It is a 'safe' read - won't give you nightmares and is aimed at an older generation with youthful minds.
I didn't find it VERY funny, as mentioned on the book cover - mildly humorous in places is as far as I would go!
The jumping back and forth took a bit of getting used to but I have to say I did enjoy reading it.
