2 out of 5 stars
This
narrative nonfiction novel is marketed as a funny, yet heartwarming story. I feel this marketing stirred me wrong, I
expected it to be much funnier; whereas I found it very sad. The entire story is about death – auto accidents,
heart attacks, and fires. None of which,
I find very funny. There was one chapter, “Oops” that was funny and entertaining. With all that said, I do feel Perry is an
excellent storyteller and the novel was very well written. He should definitely
continue to write; he is a genuine individual and a great role model. I also appreciated that the setting was once
again in Wisconsin; a strange confidence that I read two novels in a row that were
placed in Wisconsin. A great novel for paramedics and firemen to read – proves
what heroes they are.
