I grew up with a much-loved uncle like Perry -- "not the full quid" -- and consequently this book resonated deeply with me. The author did a fantastic job of capturing Perry's voice -- it was letter perfect both in language and values, deeply held. This is a joyous book and helps all us "normal" people see people like Perry as capable, contributing and functioning members of society. And who doesn't like to see an underdog triumphing against the odds? Read this book! It is a thing of beauty!
