A review by mattmatros
Gould's Book of Fish: A Novel in Twelve Fish by Richard Flanagan

2.0

This is about the most brutal read a person can come across. It's human degradation, brutality, and fecal matter from start to finish. It's supposed to be somewhat funny (I think), like a literary hoax of some kind, but instead I think it turned me off "literature" for a while. Some reviewer said this book is the first masterpiece of the 21st century. Come on. Don't read this book unless you have a morbid curiosity.
