it was amazing

If you like to laugh, this is your book!

Superfluous � unnecessary, especially through being more than enough

Tchulkaturin makes a fool of himself while he is attempting to woo a potential love interest. His words have failed him, and he comes across as extremely weird, causing multiple laugh-out-loud moments.

In certain situations, the main character takes himself very seriously (like when someone mispronounces his name) and in others he couldn’t care less. He doesn’t read social cues, and he isn’t well versed in politics which made me root for him all the more. He interacts with people, and they just ignore him which is how I feel about my interactions with most people.

I listened to a very scratchy recording on Scribd but it only caused me to listen more intently.

Captivating
