I had read no news of Gurb the same author who made me die laughing several times and bought it only on the author's name ... what a disappointment .... history has neither head nor tail characters act totally inconsistent ways it's not even a tragi-comic touch not! Just they act stupidly, why? Because the author-willing! Many times we find ourselves in a choir play for no reason or purpose .... without forgetting that the narrator (the main character) to the "comic awareness" (it is aware that it is in a book .. .) so he happily breeze on several occasions and the fourth wall for no reason in a vein attempt to bring connivance with the reader ... go your way and if you have not read without news of Gurb same author is 100x better
