This is the story of Herod, his life and the moments up to when he meets Daisy. Herod, or Rod as he prefers to be called hasn't had the most loving of childhoods but he is now a very wealthy man who doesn't need to work and so the plot is allowed to go anywhere it wants without the restraints of the normal, everyday affairs.

This book was fun, quick and easy to read, it reminded me of The Hundred Year Old Man combined with The Rosie Project, it had me laughing out loud. Rod, the main character was a jovial, eccentric character who I warmed to immediately and the supporting characters where well developed and added an extra touch to the story. I really enjoyed the little twist at the end that I didn't see coming!
