p. (Kindle Edition) Review

p.I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, which I bought for my Kindle on a whim (I liked the cover art).Note to the author, your description is somewhat lacking.

What the description doesn't touch on is that this is really the story of three people, whose lives intersect at their work at a fast-food establishment.One is a girl in her late twenties, who, after obtaining three or four degrees, still can't seem to find her place in life.She's looking for something, that much she knows, but she has no clue as to what that something is.

Another character is an artist, a failure presently, but once with a promising future, who pretends to be perfectly content to spend his days frying up burgers and one or two night a week trying to paint.

Finally, there is the "p." of the title.He's a very shy, apparently emotionally challenged man in his early twenties, who, until her death, hid himself away in his grandmother's house.Forced into the world, primarily because of his job at the burger joint, Joseph slowly begins to learn some things about himself.What he has to learn is a lot.

The story, while touching on some depressing themes, does a good job of being humorous and insightful, and a really fun read.

I wouldn't say that the story itself is ground-breaking, but then much of our best entertainments aren't.This book is skillfully, and even artfully written, and highly recommend it.

Product Description:
Who is this pale, bald-headed young man with the odd, incongruous features, and why does he blink his eyes so, and why does he stammer when he talks, and what is this that his friends say about his playing the piano like no one else in the world?...
