annaplatypus's review against another edition

Not my sense of humor. I felt like the pacing of the book was way thrown off by inappropriately timed jokes and asides, plus a generally repetitive writing style. The whiplash between dumb potty jokes and overwrought emotional ponderings was sometimes jarring or genuinely upsetting.

Minor: Sexual assault and Drug abuse

re: sexual assault, there's basically a scene of implied

dog gang rape, which the main character actually compares to porn. Lovely.
