Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr.

1.0

---

I'm not even going to waste my time. I was really looking forward to finally getting to this book. I love the movie a lot and figured it would be more gritty and dark. The writing is not clever or ground-breaking or whatever it's called. It's lazy writing using the excuse of creative freedom and uninterrupted word flow to try and excuse it.
I'm so so disappointed.
