Meg Rosoff is clearly not a male, yet I found her book from the male perspective utterly convincing as a narrator and a charmingly flawed character I was eager to know more about from the beginning. I especially found it interesting as I am taking a fiction writing class and there is an argument among the students of write what you know versus writing as a character you would know little about.

Hilarious, wise and heart-warming, Meg Rosoff's novel will touch a nerve with anyone thinking about what they really want to do with their lives, and which eddy they might allow themselves to be caught in.
