Are these people who are writing these reviews you see boring sacks or am I missing something? This book is not "laugh out loud funny" or "so funny I had to put the down". This book just isn't funny. It's a mildly entertaining story, maybe for kid (the text is huge and it's only 150 or so pages).DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! Amazon has so much more great books to offer.Detective Burley is a crappy character and the stories about him really aren't worth a intelligent person's time.
