I have a habit of reading books I know I'll hate, just to be able to put those feelings into words. THGWSWLS is the second most disgusting book I've read, right after The Troop (for those who have read it, you can see the irony.) Things Have Gotten Worse is a masterclass in being disgusting for the sake of being disgusting. There is practically no plot, and the 'twist' is hardly believable nor purposeful (other than !thankfully! bringing the book to a close.) Look, just because this isn't for me doesn't mean YOU'LL hate it, if 100 pages of chatlogs and emails detailing grafic gore fetishism is something you're into i couldn't recommend this book more. (Not to mention 50% of the page being taken up by email formatting...) Please .. just spare yourself. I wasted a day reading this so you don't have to.
