Sleepy Hollow Family Almanac

The overview of The Sleepy Hollow Family Almanac by Kris D'Agostino sounded promising. Comparing it to the work of Nick Hornby and Tom Perrota, it was called funny and about a "loopy but loving family" and the main character, Calvin Moretti, an oddball antihero.

All I found was a dysfunctional guy who doesn't want to grow up, wants to smoke pot and hang out with his loser friends and doesn't really care about anyone else.

At one point, I thought "I just want to finish this book so I can stop this guy's whining." Enough said!

I only finished it because it is for a book club in Philadelphia.
