First line: Get the hell outta here.
Why you should read this book: This is the most (intentionally) offensive work I’ve ever
read in my entire life, comprising gratuitous violence, racist stereotypes,
extreme misogyny and misanthropy, and a tedious repetition of gross-out humor,
drawn in a style reminiscent of stupid newspaper comics or Mad Magazine
fillers. There are a couple legitimate jokes, but the sense here is that the
author wrote down the most awful thing he could imagine and then, like a
twelve-year-old seeking to retain his audience of schoolyard admirers, worked to
top himself over and over again, creating what is essentially endurance test
for any reader outside the “angry youth” demographic. I may never overcome the
rage that it inspired in me, an adult person who has devoted her entire life to
creating beauty in the world, but has never been offered a publishing contract
for four hundred pages in a gorgeous hardbound, gold stamped cover; what the
author has accomplished here is truly monumental, in a sad way.
