5.0
So this book is split in two, part 1: Johnny's usual brand of poetry, there is something to offend everybody. Then you have a 20min interval, stretch yer legs and go for a walk, come back and start part 2: start screaming! Part 2 is like entering an insane serial killer's lair and reading the crazy ramblings written on the wall (Most probably written in blood or something). It is very clever, no longer poetic, no longer funny, no longer sexy, just some real worrying sentences...I recommend reading this part in one go as far as you can, it adds to the craziness.
#Sundaymorning is the perfect poem to start off this series, had me laughing, sets the tone for the part 1, dirty and funny.
There is some real clever wording here, Johnny will sneak in a line and it's meaning only hits you once you've gone past it. One of these lines "I look down at my shoes I wish they had laces" probably the best line in the book...once you get the meaning that is...or maybe I'm just a bit slow.
Best poem in the collection was "PERFECTIONIST’S POEM:" After reading the poems up to this point it is quite effective.
The poems are what you'd expect from Johnny, you gotta be brave to take them on, making it to the end still sane is quite an achievement...Me, I ended up crying whilst led in a muddy puddle.
"It went to their heads" is probably one of the most disgusting things i've read, I was eating a biscuit at the time and nearly threw it up, I'd skip read this one if I were you ;-)
Wonderful original writing, I'd recommend this to everybody, don't care if you get traumatised, this book most be read.
