A review by schyzm
Junk by John Waters, Les Bohem
Did not finish book.
1.0
Terrible. DNF at 15%. Overly vulgar with no payoff, poorly written and the narration by Waters was so uselessly unprofessional that it actively detracted from the already utterly incomprehensible stupid plotting.
If you value your brain cells, give this a hard pass.
1) the books is marked as "mature themes," however when that means constantly dropping F-bombs and talking about porn, it just comes off as being manically juvenile.
2) speaking of porn - inside the first hour of the book, a character is killed by being mind controlled into masturbating too hard. Seriously.
3) All of it's wrapped up in the trappings of a manic conspiracy theory plot that is neither original nor interesting.
4) I will never, ever, be ok with a book where a parent breaks their middle school child's neck. ever.
5) Waters' narration is both manic (too fast) and BAD - there is no character differentiation and the only thing he didn't do wrong is mispronounce words.
in short: don't buy it. don't bother. don't waste your time, It's trash.
