Interesting book, but very dated. Funny to read about hi-fis and such, and I always find it a bit unbelievable when authors create a character who will sleep with a guy and let him live with her after knowing him for an hour, but what do I know? Actually skimmed a good part of the book when relating the actual journals of Hals, but was able to get the gist, and it was entertaining. Not a bad light read, but I wouldn't go looking for it (and happy with the $2 I paid). It does say something for a book when it can get me through a 1/2 hr MUNI delay with little annoyance! ( )

And he laughed aloud because as he pressed both hands down on the pages of the Xeroxed diary he could feel the old man right there next to him, a large disreputable presence in a stained smock, weaving and wobbling there on his two canes, and the old man was laughing too.
