Sam LaCroix is sort of a loser-ish college drop-out working at a fast food restaurant when he discovers, quite by accident, that he is not who he thought he was. I found myself laughing out loud throughout, and delighting at the chapter titles, which are all the names of songs or obvious variations thereof. The author has a great sense of humor, and a knack for writing sensitive, well-rounded characters of all ages and both genders (except for the bad guys, who are all bad, but in a bumbling bad way that just adds to the fun). I picked it up because it has been the recipient of quite a few awards, so I was a bit surprised (in spite of the title!) to see that it included not only paranormal characters, but a number of new ones I never even knew existed! (…or that don’t exist, as the case may be.) Nevertheless, instead of making the book seem more absurd, it just made it way more diverting. ![]()
