Synopsis: Escaping the heat and heartbreak of New York City for a summer in rural Pennsylvania sounded like the perfect plan to Nicky D'Amico. Little did he know that what began as a heavenly idea would turn out to be a hell of a job!
Review: Laugh-out-loud humor, that description fits this book perfectly. Nicky's hilarious inner monologue, whacked characters and Paolo's very unique wisdom that he loves to share with Nicky - and with everybody in the vicinity - make this book a keeper. The case was quite interesting and I loved the little sneak-peek into the background of a theater production, with Nicky as the only sane person around. The poor, poor thing. Very funny! The author's style reminds me a lot of Steve Kluger's.
