Pretty astonishing how this totally and unselfconsciously breaks all kinds of literary rules. Kind of gross in places and going for shock value but that tends to be the way, I imagine the writer was probably having a right good laugh when writing this.

book 11 for my october horror reading challenge
this was shockingly not the first book told in one single sentence that i’ve read, but that does not make it any less interesting of an experience.
since i’ve been reading lots of dennis cooper et al. these days the plot of this wasn’t shocking to me, but it was quite intense in a *certain* part, and i did enjoy the experimental writing with the repetitions etc.
it was also pretty entertaining to see the era of internet that i’ve grown up in reflected in a book like this, while also containing a world miles away from my own.

I was gifted this book and I know the person who gave it to me has not read the contents because I don’t believe they would have bought it if they knew what it contained .
i’m not sure what the point of this was - to be as edgy and provocative as possible ? i wish i could give this zero stars as it failed to make me feel anything aside from mild revulsion and derision . i’m not sure if there’s supposed to be some deeper meaning to this and i’d be very interested to hear what it is. i am quite baffled by all the five star reviews.
