Woom, by Duncan Ralston, was an interesting story, to say the least. it reads more like a book of short stories with the conclusion tieing all the stories together cohesively. 

We are introduced to the character of Angel as he is looking for a prostitute to tell stories to...among other things. While they are "playing" and telling stories, the reader is left confused wondering what brought these two people together (other than cash) and to where these stories are headed. When the book ends I was left heartbroken with understanding in the grossest way possible. 

This story is definitely not for the faint of heart especially if you are easily grossed out or have any trigger warnings whatsoever. This book checked off most TW  within the first chapter. 

This was a fun read, as well as my second Ralston book. Needless to say, I'm a fan and will eventually get to all his other works. 

I also want to give a huge shout out to Joe Hempel for doing an excellent job once again with narrorating. He is a Master at bringing a book to life. Thanks again for the Audible code!
