hilarious and wild but not enough to make it seem unrealistic. The way the author described it really made it seem real. The story had enough adventure, comedy and romance to make it a good read for anyone. Although there is a small amount of swearing it just adds to the realisim of this book. I feel I could truely connect with its characters. Over all I would give this book a five out of five in my opinion it is one of the best books of all time. Show Less
