Life In A Fishbowl was a very entertaining, surrealistic book. The story is about a father who finds out that he has a brain tumor, and decides to sell his life on eBay to raise money for his family and make something of his death. I personally liked the book, but it did have a few flaws. While it was an easy book to read with a clear writing style and rollercoaster of a plot, it was almost comically unrealistic. From a young wannabe murderer to a convoluted plan to smuggle and iPhone, the plot had a vast array of improbable conflicts throughout the story. My favourite part of the novel was the personification of the brain tumor. I found it very creative to give the catalyst of the story sentience and a say in the narrative. All in all, I would give this book a 9.5/10 because, no matter how wacky they were, the many events that took place in the book were some of the most entertaining things I have ever read, and they made the book very enjoyable!
