1.0

 I do think that anyone who tries to argue about the satirical nature of this book being a comedic insight into the bland lives of the rich in 1980s American needs to remind themselves that we are no longer in the 1980s. The violence, misogyny, racism, homophobia truly makes this book difficult to read.
