Summary

Peter Carey's The Tax Inspector is a wickedly funny satire on modern life and families. 

The day that Benny Catchprice was fired from the spare parts department of Catchprice Motors by his aunt Cathy was also the day that the Tax Inspector, Maria Takis, arrived to begin her long-overdue audit of the family business. But this is no ordinary investigation. Maria is eight months pregnant, Granny Catchprice is at war with her offspring and Benny, her grandson, wants to become an angel.

bored

The book was boring, the narrator was boring, it was never satisfying, and deeply unnerving at parts.
