Blood Sugar by Daniel Kraus

4.0

Blood Sugar has tempted me in with it's cover but completely hooked me with it's weirdly unique storytelling. The narrator is young, underprivileged and tells the entire story in street talk/ghetto slang which takes a few pages to get used to, after that his voice becomes familiar and it's much easier to hear it in your head as you read. This story is dark, bringing naive humor to terrible situations with characters who seem to normalize situations the reader may find disturbing or disgusting. It's so entertaining to read though, feeding you little tidbits about these characters and making you absolutely need to know what happens next. This twisted tale left me thinking about it even days later.
