This book was really good. Absolutely absurd, but it never breaks character- the protagonist is fully invested in his reality and takes himself seriously, even if he does get a little existential in his reflections. It was short enough that id be willing to read it again, relatively soon. The length is important because the story could have dragged on and the ha-ha of it all could have gotten old quickly if there was another hundred pages to get through.
