Meet the Deans "The fact is, the whole of Australia despises my father more than any other man, just as they adore my uncle more than any other man. I might as well set the story straight about both of them . . ." Heroes or Criminals?Crackpots or Visionaries?
Families or Enemies? ". . . Anyway, you know how it is. Every family has a story like this one."
Most of his life, Jasper Dean couldn't decide whether to pity, hate, love, or murder his certifiably paranoid father, Martin, a man who overanalyzed anything and everything and imparted his self-garnered wisdom to his only son. But now that Martin is dead, Jasper can fully reflect on the crackpot who raised him in intellectual captivity, and what he realizes is that, for all its lunacy, theirs was a grand adventure.
As he recollects the events that led to his father's demise, Jasper recounts a boyhood of outrageous schemes and shocking discoveries--about his infamous outlaw uncle Terry, his mysteriously absent European mother, and Martin's constant losing battle to make a lasting mark on the world he so disdains. It's a story that takes them from the Australian bush to the cafes of bohemian Paris, from the Thai jungle to strip clubs, asylums, labyrinths, and criminal lairs, and from the highs of first love to the lows of failed ambition. The result is a rollicking rollercoaster ride from obscurity to infamy, and the moving, memorable story of a father and son whose spiritual symmetry transcends all their many shortcomings.
A Fraction of the Whole is an uproarious indictment of the modern world and its mores and the epic debut of the blisteringly funny and talented Steve Toltz.

Great product

Fits the remote perfectly and has a good tactile feel to it. The green color makes it easy to see where you set it down. It's a good value for the money.

A Durable and Convenient Protection Solution
Color: Green Orange
One of the most impressive attributes of these cases is their lightweight yet durable construction. The material feels robust and dependable, shielding my device from scratches, minor impacts, and everyday wear and tear. Despite this durability, the cases remain slim and non-bulky, preserving the device's original profile—a feature I deeply appreciate for maintaining portability and elegance.
Another commendable aspect is the precise fit of the cases. Each case snugly wraps around the device, ensuring a secure grip and seamless alignment with buttons, ports, and camera cutouts. This level of precision adds to the ease of use and demonstrates a high attention to detail in the manufacturing process.
Additionally, having two cases in one pack offers excellent value. It allows you to switch between them as needed or have a backup readily available. This small yet thoughtful feature adds a layer of convenience that sets this product apart from other single-case offerings.

Fits great
Color: Green
After my grandson keep bee lining for the remote, dropped it, which made a teeny chip in it-I decided to try a cover! This is really nice. It fits great. It has a nice grippy feel to it and now it's protected. We bought the lime green one, so now we can find it a lot easier as well as having it looking pretty sleek. It a great cover.

Much better fitting
Color: White
Had to buy 2 of these cases because the first one was so well done. I bought another brand and it was such a loose fit. These are awesome!
