5This "Absolute Nobody" is one to watch!  Mar 09, 2006
The Idiots grabbed me by the nose & didn't let me go until I turned the last page. The Author's voice is what gives this work such great appeal. Dan generously wears his humanity on his sleeve for all of us to delight in as he takes us on his Eastern Europeon adventure with Roman and much more. A curious blend of hysterical humor and sombre emotion, The Idiots begs you to empathize with them as they journey through a whole gamut of experience in which even boredom seems interesting. Dan successfuuly weaves an ecelectic mix of story telling using journal entries, sketches and various anecdotes with a detailed eye and a spirited reflection that really embodies this work with a unique character. I'm ready for the sequel!

5Two words: Brilliant!!  Aug 28, 2005
I've never met Dan, but while doing a google search for another Dan MacPherson, I stumbled upon this hidden treasure! The title sold me almost instantly. For some reason, I had to order it. For an "Absolute Nobody", Dan seems to have lead an extrordinary life.
Not since "Reverend" (By Dr. Gabby Johnson)have I been so touched by the work of someone I've never never met. For all I know, Dan MacPherson is an figment of a very creative writers' overactive imagination, but I don't care.
While reading this fantastic book, for a brief, shining moment...I was Dan.

Bravo.
