Raunchy but intelligent. Victor Mancini is kind of a square block trying to fit into a circle hole. There are particular types of people who are well suited to conform to the constructs of society and then there are people like Victor who are simply not equipped for that. This book tells the story of his trials trying to raise enough money to keep his mother alive in the hospital as well as his inner conflict of determining whether he is a good or bad person. The book is a critique of the dichotomy of conformity versus anarchy. And plus it's hilarious. Highly recommended, at least once.
