Here’s a little diddy from his book:
I love people, but I’m more than a little afraid of them. People do things like cut other
people’s heads off and put them in freezers. People say things around little kids that scar
them for life. People need to work on their act quite a bit before I’m going to get involved
with them to a greater extent than I do.
Warning: Before I go further, I must tell all who suffer from bladder issues and cry easily be prepared. Make sure you’ve doubled your Depends and you’ve got plenty of Puffs in plain sight. Not only will Robb make you laugh but he’ll make you cry, too.
Let’s move on….(Robb’s line)
Robb has this unique ability to pull you into his story, his world, and point of views. This one is a memoir of sorts. A funny but heart warming one where he embarks on a journey back to his homeland, Canada, after a break-up with his long term girlfriend, and meets another girl on the bus he names Gertrude. Is this the beginning of a new romance? Get the book.
While on this journey he contemplates what went wrong with his relationship in a notebook, while forming a new relationship of sorts with Gertrude. He’s also writing things down as they happen on his journey. In spots, his imagination does get carried away(there’s a really cool dressing room scene) and he’s got you believing certain things are really happening when they’re not.
In fact, you wish they really did happen but he’s as honest as he is polite. He confesses each time when he knows he’s got you by the seat of your Depends. It’s all part of Robb humor. Yes, it’s a bit twisted but that’s what makes it a great read. I had a hard time putting it down. It’s a page turner folks.
And the end, really got me. Its’ unexpected and makes me a true Robb follower. And no, I won’t give it away. Buy the book yourself. Find out what I mean.
Robb when’s the next book coming out? Will there be a sequel? You deserve ten stars for this one.

That’s all for now folks!
Happy blogging, reading, and writing!

P.S. Remember to save a library!
Nice, actually there was a crazy person here in my home town that did kill a girl and put her dead body in the freezer. Yuk, right? Thanks for the link.
