The Sluts by Dennis Cooper
4.0
I'm going to keep my thoughts on this book spoiler free and relatively short since I know at least one of my friends plans on reading this book in the near future.
Jesus Christ, this was one of the absolutely wildest, most roller-coastery, most sick and twisted and depraved and shocking books I've ever read. It is a treatise on cruelty and deciet and desperation.
It is difficult to put down.
If I'm being honest, I didn't have super high hopes going into this book. I wanted to read it because of its, and the author's reputation, but books pretty explicity written to shock and appall rarely do much for me. This was the exception. It was excellent. It's the kind of book that you can get totally wrapped up in, where you don't know what's going on, but rather than feeling frustrated by that, you feel like you're along for the ride.
I'd highly recommend this book, but make sure you have the stomach for it. I cannot overstate how dark and unpleasant this one gets.
