He is so slick. I was going to keep track of funny quotes, but they came at me so fast and furious that I just gave up. I adore that book, and it's totally not my thing. It's a James Bond, Tom Clancy-esque conspiracy theory spy novel with so much tongue in cheek that I almost fell off the bed from laughing. The main character's inner monologue is what makes the whole thing. If Hugh Laurie's inner monologue is anything like it (and I just have to believe it must be!) then I want to live inside his head and giggle insanely for the rest of my life. His funny is so natural and conversational that you end up feeling like YOU could write a hilarious novel about your mundane life. I found myself wittily describing an amusing drive to work, or a funny conversation with my mother. Of course, I could never do this, but I'm grateful to HL for making me feel like I COULD.

I highly recommend it, it really was so wonderful and witty. And despite the fact that it was kind of making fun of the Tom Clancy/Conspiracy theory novels, it's pretty detailed and Laurie did a lot of good research on weapons etc. Lots of fun. I'm recommending that you go get it from your library and read it!

And here's my last little tidbit from the recently aired episode of Inside the Actor's Studio.
