I found this book to be incredibly comical and funny throughout with some dark tones, too.
The Grump is an eighty-year-old man who regularly visits his wife in the care home she resides in and loves spending time with her. However, this character also seems obsessed with the idea of planning for his own death. He begins writing a will by hand and building his own coffin until he finds himself in hospital after a particularly bad fall.
This is a book that is definitely worth reading, especially as it is so small. The language used within the pages makes it easy to read and is definitely worth the short time you need to read it. Especially considering that the characters within the book feel real and true to life.
