The characters in this story are almost comic book exaggerations. About two thirds of the way through the book I was getting tired of the frequent repetition of the oddities about the main character. Frankly, he's unbelievable. I began to wish that the author had used the plot device of giving him alien DNA to explain why he and his offspring were so remarkable. There are no aliens, and no believable explanation for the abnormal elements in this family. I'm surprised that this book isn't in the Young Adult category. I gave it 3 stars for the same reason some people enjoy After School Specials and low-budget Grade B family movies - it's a quick read, just don't expect too much from it.
