penofpossibilities's review

Got 41 minutes into the audiobook and pestered my poor friend about this because I fail to understand the appeal of this book. I will have to agree with every 1 star rating of this sadly, I wish I could comprehend the brilliance that so many see in this, the comfort and laughter they find in it. But I simply find it offensive, disturbing even, and to me it lacks some sort of indication as to the reason for it's existence in the first place. I don't like to give bad ratings to my friends favourites, and I usually give their recommendations a longer chance. But sadly this is too triggering for me. I don't recommend it to people with simular reading tastes to mine.
