Well, I must say that I had VERY high hopes for this book. I feel like I've been waiting forever for him to write a new book of his hilarious essays. And while I did enjoy this book - particularly with the great Van Gogh on the cover - I must admit that it wasn't my favorite collection of his work. Perhaps because there wasn't as much family material in this one as in the others... or maybe because he ends up quitting smoking after all. Either way, it just wasn't my favorite - but it was by no means bad... it still ranks infinitely higher than any of the other essayists that I have read.
