There were funny parts in this story, but they were few and far between, and the plot was intersting on those few occasions when it actually made any sense. The plot is very confusing and takes more than one read-through to understand, but I found the book too boring to re-read, so while reading the book my thoughts were, "When am I going to get to another funny part?" and upon finishing it, "Oh. Okay." To summarize, the plot is too convoluted and boring to be a good mystery, and not funny enough to be good humor.
