One of the most bizarre books I’ve ever read. I’ve never felt so disgusted while reading and it’s an intriguing emotion. You want to look away but you can’t, something deeply human is drawing you to this story. The authors writing is succinct yet delivers a powerful punch, each sentence has a purpose. His tone is witty and sarcastic, making the dark topics of this book seemingly light hearted. Entertaining and at times thought provoking too.
