I can't really give a description of this book. I couldn't make sense of it. I guess neighbors were complaining about this guy because he acted funny. It sparked the interest of the police and a journalist.

This story kind of jumbled together and didn't make much sense. It was very choppy and it bounced all over the place with no warning. The thing is, I feel like this could be a very good story if it had been done properly. With a little structure and rewriting, maybe it would be improved upon. There were just too many questions left at the end of this story that it was nerve wracking.

The voice actors were okay I guess. One sounded like he was a little special (Bob Honey). Another sounded robotic. Another sounded overly sexual. I can't really complain about the voice actors too much. I was just underwhelmed by the story as a whole.

I guess everybody is encouraged to give this story a try and draw their own conclusions. I personally don't recommend it, but that it just my opinion. I wasn't impressed with this story at all. I was very underwhelmed and very disappointed. If others like it, that's awesome. I just didn't.

The worst words I have ever read, in both style and content.

Did I enjoy reading it? Yes. Penn has a way of words. Was this a mess? Absolutely. Honestly I have no clue what happened or what the point is. I couldn't reccomend this to anybody. I even have a cousin who is a big Penn fan I was going to pass the book along to, but I won't do that to him.

Update: So I've read some reviews after my initial post. Honestly I didn't have a clue this existed let alone was called "the worst book ever." I've read Bret Easton Ellis and Mark Z. Danielewski, so I wasn't as bothered by this style. I think the hate for this book probably stems from a mix of people used to more mainstream writing and people who think Penn should stick to his day job.

I think this is hovering between 1.5 and 2. It was a disjointed mess, good thing it was a free download. There were a few interesting points about our current political situation, but it isn't enough to rescue it from the poor writing.

Clearly a book with an agenda. That's probably why they're giving it away. Read with a grain of salt.

I literally have no idea what I just read. I have no idea if it was good or bad. I'm either an idiot or the author is insane.
