Tore through this book in a day. Riveting. The content was obviously quite disturbing but I found myself laughing at the emails exchanged, especially at the end. I also love when authors challenge structural conventions so the "fictionalised history book/anthropological study" with illustrations and outside correspondence and all was perfect.
