What was this Stephen?? What was this 💀
Ive heard great things about his writing, but one can only wonder if people were lying to her after reading this. I could only take so much of descriptions of shit, perky boobs, rape and balls. Not to mention the numerous homophobic and racist passage that were entirely unnecessary.
I know this is an older book; doesn’t negate how I felt about it.
The plot started off very weird and fast, and I didn’t like its execution.
