3.0

This book is unapologetically vulgar, filled with a brutally honest take on the inner thoughts of humans. It’s an interesting character study kind of book, with a vague worldwide emergency going on in the background. I think the author accomplished exactly what was intended, but it wasn’t necessarily for me.
