• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

It’s actually so sad that I can’t justify giving this a higher review. I adore the author’s writing style. The prose in this story was really nice. I truly hated the lack of a solid plot and the novella inside this story was my least favorite part of it. Which is unfortunate, since it makes up a majority of the book.

I, probably like many, came to You've Lost Alot of Blood after reading LaRocca's Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke. It's really hard for another book to live up to THGWSWLS's reputation and just the experience of reading it for the first time - so it seems unfair to measure this one against that one. You've Lost Alot of Blood is doing a lot - it's almost like 3 books in one; poetry, a novella, and a screen play type thing (script?). Not as grotesque, shocking, and cinematic as THGWSWLS but still experimental, surprising, and unsettling.
