I don’t actually know what I just experienced. If it’s one thing this book is it’s committed to the bit. I have no idea where I begin to rate this. It’s hilarious at times, but also annoying, vulgar, childish, & just progressively gets more ridiculous even when you think it is at its most wild. I would not recommend it to anyone without several stipulations. Even then I have exactly one friend maybe who won’t hate this. That’s kinda why it’s great? Very John Waters and I respect it. I love that he has his distinct style with his projects and that he just went for it in this big way with this book too. 20% in or so I was like ehhh this isn’t for me, then was like wait … I’m still so intrigued & I kept on going. I wanna say like the last 100 pages or so I was like ok this is dragging & was losing my patience with its antics, but it was true to itself all the way through.
