A story this absurd can only be true. A third-string goalie on a pitiful early-1990s Hungarian hockey team, Attila Ambrus also drives the team Zamboni — and supplements his income by robbing banks. When one of the policemen ineptly trying to track you down has been nicknamed Mound of Asshead by his own colleagues, why not? Ambrus not only becomes a top-notch bank robber, he becomes a Hungarian folk hero. This book is guaranteed to make you laugh. --Colt R.
