Book Reviews of PLEASURE OF MY COMPANY, THE: A NOVELLA

Book Review: I certainly enjoyed the pleasure of his company!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Daniel Pecan Cambridge, a genius of sort rejected by Mensa after they inadvertently omitted the 1 at the beginning of his IQ, is plagued by OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Everything must be logical, symmetrical, and quantifiable. At any one time, for example, the total wattage of active light bulbs where ever he sleeps must be precisely 1,125.

Do not expect a fast-paced, wisecracking, rollicking read. Although Martin holds our interest with Daniel?s tangential forays into the absurd, and his variously humiliating, anti-heroic antics.

Steve Martin is intelligent and, at moments, The Pleasure of My Company displays a surprising sensitivity. This is light-hearted, quick-witted, comic and original. It is the kind of goofball comedy of the naïve which invariably secures Martin's films a PG rating. Expect to see it on the big screen soon. And then as a DVD purchase from Amazon :)
