I have never read this author before but heard his books were good. This was quite amusing and a quick read. I would say it was good, but not great. The story involves a sad sack kind of guy, Silver, who never even gets a first name in this book. He's divorced from Denise, and estranged from his daughter Casey and hangs out with characters much like himself in an apartment complex. These 40+ year old guys gawk at the college girls and are not particularly sympathetic characters.....not even the protagonist Silver.
His daughter comes to him pregnant - right before she is to start college at an Ivy League school. She's smart, but just had a one night stand with a neighbor boy she has known her whole life.
Anyway, Silver gets sick - he's potentially going to suffer a stroke at any time if he doesn't have a surgery (performed, by the way, by his ex-wife's soon to be husband.)
Yeah, lots of intermingling relationship stuff going on.
On the whole, funny and quick, but nothing to write home about.
