This was a book group assignment. It is not a book I would have picked on my own.
And that is part of the purpose of book groups, finding new authors, widening reading experience. Also, so great to read a book and then discuss it with other people for at least an hour.
I started The Guncle. And then I bailed after a couple hours. I did not finish. I found it very annoying.
Clearly I did not read the sequel either, The Guncle Abroad.
Please note - I went the discussion group for this book, even though I did not finish it. Everyone else liked the book. They thought it was funny. Several went on to read the sequel. At least one thought it should be made into a TV series.
