Fucking brilliant. Unlike anything I have ever read and will probably ever read. Lockwood writes some of the most bat-shit crazy crap and I revelled in it. Despite this humour, it was also kind of unnerving in that it made me question how I'm spending my life and how other people are spending their lives and how sad and miserable all of this is. The second part ruined me, I was positively sobbing reading it. I like that this is a book that really encourages you to digest and think about what is being said and I really want to go back and read it again (I was thinking this as I was reading it - I need to reread this!).
