This book was very enjoyable to read, while teaching me a few things. The story provides a little bit of everything to keep any reader satisfied - comedy, history, murder, romance, mystery, every day life with an unexpected twist of bizarre events. The first few chapters read slowly as you really get to know each character and the places they visit, work, and find comfort in. The way Max Medford developed the characters easily helps you get to know each person precisely and individually - they become a part of your own life.
Once you pass through the in-depth introductions, the story really starts to spin and captivate you. One moment you're at a bar watching Wes compete in a Quiztouch competition, the next you're driving through the streets of Newark. You wake up in the backyard to discover a red Iris, then suddenly you're meeting monks that insist on being part of your existence. You find yourself traveling with Wes and Scott on their crazy adventures while attempting to make it to the Quiztouch championship.
I am from New Jersey, and was easily able to recognize many places that are mentioned throughout the story. Though I have yet to visit The Presby Memorial Iris Gardens, I was able to vividly picture myself there because of the author's attention to detail and ability to transform words into a mental image. He clearly paints a picture of each person and place he mentions.
You can tell the author wanted his reader to fall into this story. He must have been captivated by these characters as he got to know them in creation. Not every author puts this much heart in development of characters. Where it can be viewed as a flaw, it can also be seen as a strength. Because of the detailed development, you just have to keep reading to find out what becomes of your new friends. I was unable to stop reading this book until I knew where their stories traveled.
