Very good book, well written and nice to read. Unfortunately, it contained a number of topics that difficult for me. That somewhat diminished my enjoyment. I'm sure I could have liked it more at a different time in my life .

I really enjoyed this book. it felt so raw, so real. In man was i found myself in this book. 

but man - i fucking hate Frank. every other character i could still see their good sides, but not Frank. i will never forgive him for what he did to the sugarglider. i will die a Frank hater.
also im really sad about quentins end.

Very self indulgent but a broken clock is right 2 times a day, and this book is funny twice a chapter.

My favourite part of the book is the cover. That's about it. People who have read this book rave about it so it might just not be my might cup of tea. It's mostly charter driven there's kind of a plot but it's not really the main focus of the book I guess. Oh and way too many descriptive sexual stuff. Again, not my cup of tea.
