He doesn't even see the point of getting out of bed in the morning. To get his family off his back, he embarks on an aimless hitchhiking adventure around Europe. But his journey soon turns into an orgy of violence...

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A good listen/read. Gave me some stuff to ponder.
I enjoyed both the writing and narrator.. In fact i actually chortled out loud a few times. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5SO GOOD! I thought it would be dystopian, but it deals with modern-day problems without heavily engaging in the relationship between humans and technology. "Life is hard and then you die". I wish I never lost this amazing work!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a very interesting book - not what I expected at all going into the first chapter. I enjoyed the characters adventures into the unknown though the ending is a bit confusing. I would still recommend it - if only to get someone else to read it and explain the ending to me.
