4.0

kind of annoyed that the version i have has a photo of a real person (a celebrity i care nothing about, no less) on the cover but okay. golly what a cast of truly awful people!! i loved it!!! victor and anne were weirdly cute, and the fuckedupness of everything was exactly my style. poor baby patrick ^__^ also i was surprised that the book was really all David And Pals rather than about patrick, but it was enthralling and i appreciate the look into the home he grew up in + the psyche of his parents.

there were bits that were definitely too posh for me to get but maybe that was the point.
