Lovable slacker Toby Tucker, an incompetent tour guide and guardian angel to a group of travellers in Greece, has a love affair that threatens to make a solid citizen of him.
"I had to keep reminding myself that I was reading a book and not watching a movie-Robert MacLean's 'The Cad' is that entertaining."-David Hallman
"I really enjoyed reading The Cad. I found myself laughing throughout."-Joanne Chase
"The Toby Series is one of the most enjoyable series that I have ever read. Shades of Wodehouse and yet so modern and well..bizarre.. Had me in fits of laughter all the way through. What a bad boy !! What a great series !!"-Kindle Customer
"I never thought I could enjoy a writer as much as I enjoy P.G. Wodehouse, but I've found him in Robert MacLean. Since I first discovered The President's Palm Reader, I've read all his books and found myself being amused, laughing out loud..."-Winslow
"This book is deliciously insane. The life and loves of a lazy tour guide in Greece presented in a collection of crazy experiences. I loved it."-Ldub
"The Cad offers us Toby, a perfect bounder, acting as tourguide who flies by the seat of his pants."-Blaine Carwell
"Toby is irrepressible and irredeemable, a delightfully comic creation whose most exasperating quality is also his most endearing: the more we get to know him, the less we expect from him."-The Montreal Gazette
