4.0

This is an entertaining, fast read. It's full of weird humor and shallow characters, poking fun at cultural narcissism in an over-the-top, hilarious way. And when the horror kicks in, hold on, because it gets gruesome and absolutely bonkers for the last 100 pages! This book is silly in all the best ways, and was a lot of fun to read.
