Top review from the United States

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2021
Though the whole premise here is pretty silly, that’s exactly what makes this book so good. It’s a casual, goofy read with moments of sudden profundity that had me going back a few times to re-read some passages and even save a few poignant quotes. At other times I found myself laughing out loud at cheeky observations of the human condition. The author has a very interesting way of viewing mundane things from unexpected angles. I didn’t expect this to be a five-star book, but I was proven very wrong and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
