Summarize a book in one sentence

[Stelio Kontos]

Game's real simple: Pick ANY book, then summarize it in only one sentence.

I'll start.
Catcher in the Rye in one sentence:
An incompetent and somewhat arrogant young man gets kicked out of his prep school, wanders around New York City for several days, then runs off to the West Coast and pretends to be incapable of either speaking or hearing.
