5.0
his is my first read by Matt and what an introduction to his work, it mas freaking A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!.
It's told from a baby's point of view, which was a first for me. It was funny as hell reading what the baby would like to do to his relatives but obviously, he can't even walk!!.
It's a short story about reincarnation, born into an unwanted family. Loved the writing style, dark humour/funny and disgusting at the same time, if you have triggers stay away from it, it's not for the easily offended. There is a reference to Boris Johnson which was very amusing.
The ending was superb, one of the best endings I've ever read.
Highly recommended!!.
