Description

New book reveals the importance of going against the social norms.

Odd One Out is a new book by acclaimed author Paul Lambis that encourages its readers to escape all judgements and discrimination, and learn to value their own unique perspective.

A humorous journey of one man’s attempt to find a new way of living that would carry him into thin and beyond, Odd One Out is an unashamed memoir of binges, setbacks, explosive outbursts and ultimate success. This fast-moving book also delves into different aspects of life as seen through separate stories involving a wide variety of individuals, many of whom are shown to be interlinked as their tales progress.

Paul Lambis’ self-deprecating narrative is extremely sarcastic and utterly hilarious, and along with his epic lines of wisdom and snappy dialogue – creating high adventure and wild drama around the porous boundaries between fiction and real life, it makes for a laugh-out-loud book.
