This is only the second B. Little book I've read, the first was awesome, I'd never read anything like it, but this one seemed to follow the same pattern as the first book I read, that caused me to quickly loose interest.

(Please keep in mind I started reading this before I gave birth, so some of the details are fuzzy, but i do believe I remember the important parts, if I'm wrong you can always leave a comment and let me know what you think)


In this book, we follow a man who is on his way to being an ex-husband, looking for a new start and a want to return to his roots. So he moves back to his home city and looks for a new place and finds one that seems perfect, so he immediately signs the lease and plans to move his belongings across the states. A moving truck is rented and his car is left at the new house.
When he returns two days later he finds a crack in his back window and promptly calls the insurance company. The call is odd, the representative asking odd questions and being rude and profane.
From there it slowly declines as the house he's renting is broken into and when the insurance company is called the same rude representative answers with his completely inappropriate questions. This service causes our main man to change insurance companies to one that seems perfect, they have coverage for everything.
The only problem is, if you don't take insurance that is offered to you, you'll soon wish you had.

It sounds like such a great story line, and I'm sure it would be, but I just could not get into it! It seemed to follow the same progression that the book previous I read did (which I loved!)
I'm hoping that waiting a few weeks and reading some different genres will allow me to enjoy the next book of his I try to read.
