Wims rose to his feet and one of the platoon sergeants leaped forward. "I'll help you, sir. Wims, sit down."

I do not understand this story. It is neither funny, nor entertaining. There is no discernible plot, the characters are shallow and unbelievable. It doesn't get too much worse than this.
A kid who does nothing, yet destroys everything around him gets drafted as a secret weapon.

A mildly funny story.
The book was full of irony and humor, accompanied with a protagonist you can't help but like I found that I enjoyed it. I would have preferred a different ending but that is all I will say on that subject, I don't want to spoil it. I would recommend it for those who are looking to read something short and enjoyable in their spare time.
