Helpful Score: 3
I picked this up thinking of my brother, who's a junker. I'm not all that interested in the junking thing myself but this book was much better than I expected. It was very amusing, touching but not sappy, and the main character (Richard) had a distinctive personality that never seemed contrived. I kept thinking it was a memoir and not a novel.
The only negative I can think of is, in a few places in the book, there's a page or two that deals with animal cruelty: Richard's love interest works for the Detroit Anti-Cruelty Shelter. Nothing insensitive in the writing, I just hate thinking about it - way too sad. If I read the book again I'd skip those pages.
