Never would I have guessed that this series with a pantsless man and his cat sidekick would have not only been an engrossing read but the start of one of my favorite series of all time.

If the title throws you off, I implore you, beg you, to give it a try anyway. Jeff Hays gives Matt Dinniman’s words beautiful voice. It’s weird, and dark, and zany sometimes, but I swear if you stick with it this will move you. Before the end of book one even.
