You know, I originally had a fairly lengthy review for this book. But  decided to get rid of it, because there is no better way I can think of to describe this book then mean-spirirted. This is a mean-spirirted book that completely fumbles the message its trying to convey with how offensive, horrible, pretentious, and just plain mean it is. Thats it. This probably won't make sense to anyone else, but I don't care. I don't ever want to think of this book ever again. Don't waste your time with it, trust me.
