I loved this book. Before you judge me let me explain why...
I loved it because...
Because...

I don't even fucking know why. I just did. This book was disgusting, and crass, and vulgar, and offensive in every way a book can be offensive. No subject was taboo enough for this author to leave out of his story. Everything was made into a joke.

And yet I soaked that shit in. Soaked. It. In. And liked it.

When I first realized that there would be no quotation marks used during the dialogue I thought that would drive me crazy. But surprisingly once I got into the story it did not bother me at all. I was able to follow along just fine without them.

So anyway, there it is. This is a disgusting book and I should be ashamed of myself for enjoying it as much as I did. I should be but I'm not. Sorry not sorry.
