This book is so witty at times and had laugh out loud moments.

✨
"I confiscate everything on behalf of the Indian government, that's why. Everything that comes ashore, that is. Customs and exercise."

"Don't you mean 'Excise'?"

"I mean exercise -- they haven't issued me with a bicycle yet"

Would save it for another read when my kids would be sensible enough to understand the humor in it.
