Russell Fink is twenty-six years ancient and determined to salvage a job he despises so he can finally go out of his parents house for excellent. He’s convinced he gave his twin sister cancer when they were nine years ancient. And his crazy fiancée refuses to accept the fact that their engagement really is over.
Then Sonny, his allegedly diviner basset hound, is establish murdered.
The ensuing amateur investigation forces Russell to confront several things at once-the enormity of his family tree’s dysfunction, the guy stalking his family tree, and his long-buried feelings for a most peculiar like interest.
At its heart, My Name Is Russell Fink is a comedy, with sharp dialogue, characters steeped in authenticity, romance, suspense, and fresh humor. With a postmodern style similar to Nick Hornby and Douglas Coupland, the leader explores reconciliation, forgiveness, and faith in the midst of tragedy. No amount of neurosis or dysfunction can ruin God’s redemptive purposes.

Okay folks, this is an edit of the review I posted yesterday.
When I wrote (factually punching the keys) the review yesterday I had just snapped off my Kindle and I was mad. After a small reflection and a bit of sage advice (YOU know who you are
)I’ve chose to take a more cool approach. The original title of this review was “This book is a dog”. A more appropriate title is the one you see now. I’m not so much as mad at the book as I am mad about Russell.
I stand by my point that Russell is a fink. A whiney hypochondriac with loose morals at best. I guess I don’t mind too much if I don’t care about the main character in a book, but building me despise the guy is not conducive to a excellent read. As I turned each page, my frustration with the guy nonstop to grow until reaching the point at some 39% of the way through that I just could not continue.
Part of the frustration also had to do with not getting a sense of tale. The book seemed to chronicle the daily exploits of Mr. Fink and it just didn’t seem to be going anywhere. I guess I figured that by the time I was nearly half way through the book if a tale didn’t show up, it wasn’t likely to anytime soon.
With that said, I did find the book highly readable in terms of the leader’s writing style. It would be appealing to have a look at the next offering out of the chute.

This book was reasonably realistic and therefore had the potential to be extremely powerful. It certainly doesn’t come off as preachy. But, on the additional hand, I wish that it had more to say, even at the risk of including some preaching. The book is very slow paced, with excruciating detail of a very ordinary person’s life. I kept reading, thinking it had to get better, eventually… but it did not. The end was anti-climactic, a huge disappointment. And as for its treatment of faith, I felt that overall, it was a “take it or place it – it doesn’t matter” approach. It never seemed that faith was a vital part of the life of any of the characters. The book seems to say that choosing to judge doesn’t bring hope or life change, but rather more of the same monotony.

If books were produce, this title would be the freshest, juiciest read, dripping with the most tasty humor I’ve tasted in awhile. Michael does amusing justice and tells an unpredictable tale in the process. Send me to the island where material like this grows on trees.

Not to much action, not dull and the book keeps you wanting to keep reading.
A excellent read.

Russell Fink won’t make it as a Harlequin Romance hero. He’s an average Joe, not a rippling hunk. He has a dull job; a self-absorbed, soon-to-be exed fiancee; an alcoholic mother; a disgraced, televangelist father; a gambling-addicted brother; a grandfather imprisoned for double homicide; and a dog that likes whiskey biscuits.
What an off-the-wall comedy this cast of characters makes!
