How to Be a Normal Person

This was a pretty funny and enjoyable read. I laughed out loud a handful of times. But everyone sort of had the same language quirks – they just happened to be funny quirks. I wouldn't mind visiting this town and people. Key word: visiting.

I found Mr. Klune's wacky characters to be similar to Christopher Moore – enjoyable, but also noticeably artificial.

I liked the inclusion of an asexual person in the romance, but I think it would have been more interesting to see this character and his love interest, the main character, work through it. Instead, Gus seemed to have a low sex drive, which sweeps away an adjustment and a natural source of tension.

I'm not sure if I'll read more from this author, because, um, I judge books by their covers, and find his book covers really unappealing. Which is my loss, I understand. The right premise might draw me in though.
