If you're in the market for an easy-breezy read, Crash has got you covered. The plot jumps forward in time twice, but for the most part, it moves in a nice, straight line. And while we wouldn't go so far as to say that Crash is a dumb jock, he's definitely not throwing around too many $5 words.
So go ahead, take off your thinking cap. There's no need to strain your brain this time around.
