I'm on a DWJ reread jag...this one has absurd, almost slapstick humor and a wonderfully characterized family of four distinct individuals who are both flawed and lovable, plus an imaginative array of villains. Like all “twist” books worth reading once, this is also worth reading again after you know the ending - and see how skillfully Jones builds towards it.
