3.0

I am torn. One on hand the prose was really nice, immersing me in California without even ever being there. On the other hand, it can get graphic. And with that descriptive prose that is a strength of the book, it also doesn't allow the reader to hide as things get worse. Better than I expected though, so I guess I liked it.

2.75

first 3/4 of the book: critique of the vapidity of LA/socal social culture, a bit dry in the way that windless, hot summer days are.
last 1/4 of the book: the most depraved shit you’ve ever read.
