I love this book. It's about Trillin's memories of his father and what his father's hopes for him were. He points out that we get messages from our parents but never realize that we may be understanding things differently than they meant it. Also about how his father's experience as an immigrant molded his idea of being American.
my how hard kids work these days!
thoreau was not the greatest writer, but he was an amazing thinker.
I really enjoyed this book and found it very entertaining. However, my only gripe with it was that I thought it was a little weak as a self contained novel. I felt like it could have been published as a series of short stories continuing from the first novel. And I thought that the part that occurred at the restaurant at the end of the universe was not very important to the narrative, even though it was the title of the book. But if you put all of that aside, and just take the novel for what it is, it is very enjoyable. I really thought the ruler of the universe was hilarious and really wished we saw more of him. Also, the last part of the novel was pretty captivating and had what I thought was a pretty cool twist, which seemed like an homage to one of my favorite movies. I won't say which movie to avoid spoiling this novel, but it was cool. I would have given this three and a half stars, but unfortunately that is impossible.
