Who is John Snowman?
John Snowman is the typical American teenager: studious, shrewd, not athletic, and sometimes a little geek, which made him the favorite target of bullies at his school: Mirabella Hills High School.

Everything sounds great, if not for a slight problem, a slight setback that prevents him from meeting his goals:
When he wants the most to be on time for classes, inexplicably always something makes him be late for school.
And, coincidentally, he's always late when there's a key evaluation for his grades, but it wasn't his fault. Or at least that is what he always tried to explain to his teachers in great detail.
And this is when we discover that the most unlikely and crazy adventures seem to chase John, despite his efforts to arrive on time to his classes.
This is his story. This is the hilarious, crazy, absurd, fucking unlikely story he told his teachers about what prevented him from arriving on time to the American History exam and thus he became the ...

Truly unlikely, ha ha! Life of Pi with fun. I loved John, his comments, his thoughts, his reactions to everything. At the end, he melted my heart.

I was curious by the title, and I have to admit that it lives up the story. The sense of humor of the main character really shocked me (in a good way) a lot, and I can't deny that there were parts where I had to stop reading and take my time to laugh and get a breath. It feels like a movie most of the times, a little commercial, but it's good enough to entertain me and wish for a sequel. Good read.
