Pee-wee is someone you either love or hate &#8212; he &#8220;isn&#8217;t particularly sympathetic&#8221; &#8212; but you&#8217;ve certainly never experienced anyone like him before; as Peary puts it, &#8220;you&#8217;ll be baffled, not awed, that such a character exists (other than in the seat behind you on the bus).&#8221;
