Evans father is 70 years old, classical hard boiled Scottish and a complete hard-***. He doesn’t understand 'kids these days', and refuses to have huge TVs, swimming pools, and vacation houses. "I should mention that my dad does have a vacation home. Sort of. It was more of a tiny shack near Mount Rainier, not that far from Seattle. It wasn’t the kind of vacation home where you sat around the pool sipping frozen cocktails. Instead it was the sort of place where you reclaimed your manhood. My father and I would go up there and spend the entire weekend chopping wood. Some fun. But my dad loved discipline and manly exercise, so that's what we did."
On a side note, Evans father is arrested for supposed murder, and Evan overhears his fathers work partner speaking about setups and stolen viruses. Basically Evan and his friends have to travel through France and Italy to save the world. And the book is very funny. But the characters, and the relationship between Evan and his Father, are the best part.
