4 out of 4 stars
Share This Review
CALL ME POMEROY by James Hanna narrates the story of the hilarious Pomeroy. The story has been narrated from the perspective of Pomeroy himself and that makes the reading very interesting, because somethings are best heard from the person himself. The story takes you around multiple cities as Pomeroy himself is on the run from one city to another, distancing him from the law.
Pomeroy is out on parole and it doesn't take him too long to find himself in the midst of a revolution. Just so you know, Pomeroy was quite familiar with prisons. And so that you have an idea as to how familiar he was, he finds himself in more than two jails within the first three chapters. During the revolution he meets Charlemagne who couldn't be more impressed with Pomeroy's song. As he finds himself in trouble in different cities, his song " Ants in My Pants " goes on from being a youtube sensation to being the theme song of the demonstrations.
Throughout his journey, his ultimate motive is to somehow release his songs and earn fame. You'll find yourself amused with endless laughter as Pomeroy takes you on the journey through his life as he ends up being in the biggest jail that he has ever seen.
Let me start by rating this book 4 out of 4 stars. If at some point you feel that the story is quite predictable let me tell you that Pomeroy's character isn't. Pomeroy doesn't fail to surprise you enough along the way. He is undoubtedly the most narcissist person anyone has ever read about. He thinks no end of himself and he has this belief that every women wants to have sex with him.
The writer has succeeded in creating a brilliant protagonist who tells the truth, most of which are very unsettling. If you think that the incidents aren't funny enough then wait till you read his songs. They are extremely long and hilarious but to some extent the songs make sense.
This book is totally a one man show as it was meant to be. I would really like to meet Pomeroy and just listen to what he has to say about himself and the world in general. Undoubtedly my favourite thing about this book is Pomeroy himself. Some sensitive readers might feel offended by the various statements Pomeroy gives about women but that wasn't an issue for me.
I didn't find any error in the book. There are a few unusual sentences and words but those are just Pomeroy's style of speaking. There was nothing in the book that I disliked. This book is perfect for young adults and adults with a taste for satire.
