I'm not a big fan of crude humor or when characters are sexualized, so this may not be a book for me. However, it's great that the editing was well done, even with all the slang. Glad that you experienced several laugh-out-loud moments. :) Pomeroy does sound like a hoot as he tries to keep out of the eyes and ears of the police and tries to land a record deal! Thank you for the great review!

Thanks for the nice review. It's the second book of James Hanna that I'm suggested to read and I will definitely do it. I liked the description of the character being an ordinary person with his own flaws (and I should say there are lots of them :)) not some fictional superhero. The main hero is arrogant, sophisticated, self-centered who finds himself in various funny situations. I'm sure it will be an engaging read. Two thumbs up for the author!

Though it sounds like a funny reading, it is not quite the type of story that I enjoy. But it does sounds intriguing and unique, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the review.

The book portrays through fiction of the main character the desires of every growing optimistic young person with all desires of acquiring possessions, be recognized and and have the social environment's attention. Howbeit, this is encouraging young people especially to think big, it is a nice book.

Great review. This sounds like satirical comedy and that's something I enjoy. The crude language and humor won't bother me so I'll be reading this soon. Congrats on being BOTD.

This isn't one of my usual genres but Pomeroy does sound quite entertaining.

Thanks for the good review on this comedic book -- I don't think it's for me due to the high amount of crude language and situations, but the premise of a street musician on parole sounds interesting for a light read.

Wow, it looks intriguing! Seems like one I am either really going to love or really going to hate.
