Much like The Ginger Man this novel housed the irreverent, the gross out, and the just plain funny. Loads of disgusting sexual antics, pervs, and frigid marms. Four or five vignettes through the book are straight up classic. A really entertaining and humorous read.

4.5 to a book I almost gave up on a quarter of the way into. I stuck it out and it ended up being one of the funniest and saddest books I've read. I really enjoyed the friendship between Balthazar and Beefy.

I bought this book because the cover and the title struck me as funny. I had no idea it was going to be such a sad book! It took me some time to get into the rhythm of Donleavy's abnormal sentence and paragraph structure, but once I figured it out I enjoyed the book much more.
