Again you all are missing the point, and missing out on the true comedy of this novel which is: for as strangely cheerful as Jonathan is he IS genre savvy and he DOES think something horrible might happen to him.

Am I about to die? These locals are so kindhearted! Am I about to die? This chicken is really good! Am I about to die? My boss likes me!!! Am I about to die?
