One of the best novels I've ever read.
Brilliantly written, veering from hysterically funny to intensely sad, but always entertaining. By the time I was through reading it I desperately hoped that Jack Crabb, the protagonist, actually existed, or least someone like him. I've had a dog-eared paperback copy for years, can quote lines in it from heart, and expect I will always have a copy until the Everywhere Spirit calls me home and I ride that rainbow (read the book).
Incidentally the move is a massive disappointment. Don't bother.
