I had heard such good things about this book, but it wasn't for me. Granted, I finished it in two sittings, but it's fairly short and mostly dialogue so that's not saying much.
The very end is compelling but you have to sift through 90% of the book being fart and butt jokes (to the point it's far outside the realm of realistic for the child character).
It's more shock horror and body horror than anything else when you do get horror, but mostly it's just listening in to a deeply disfunctional family and that's not fun to me personally.
