Book Reviews of Under My Roof (Soft Skull ShortLit)

Book Review: Coming of age/nuclear standoff
Summary: 5 Stars

Brilliant and biting. I loved this book. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. I just loved the nuclear bomb in the garden gnome.

What else can you say about a book that combines nuclear bombs, free hotdogs, quickmart secessions and fame hungry journalists?

I can't describe the book without giving away too much of the plot or the deliciously funny situations that are in it. But I will say this, it hits close to home with the way the country has become so divided in the last eight years. This may poke fun, but at its center it shows the problems facing the U.S. in a light hearted but grimly honest way.
