Description

Self-interest can motivate people to do a lot of horrible things. In this book it leads people to lie, cheat, mock their inferiors, deride newborns, abandon fat people, steal from the terminally ill, apply feces as camouflage, scapegoat children, push over conjoined twins, and hit strangers with clown shoes. In the process, the limits of egotism, the brutality of reflection, the realities of affection, and the ramifications of shortsightedness are explored. Also, there is a love triangle, as well as some stuff about friendship and women and baseball and hemorrhoids and manscaping.

Crass and irreverent. You might feel a little bad about laughing, but you will do it anyway.

How can a person with zero empathy and a narcissistic personality disorder be so damn amusing?

Crass is an understatement:
Lots of talk of masturbation, oral sex, anal bleaching and a general appreciation of the female form (but only when it's perky, taut and trim). Alcoholic benders are merely the setting for all this.

In one way it hurts to hear a man’s internal dialogue of disdain for everything that he feels has no value, and everyone he has no use for. Babies, old people and women all share equally in his vitriol. Somehow the author manages to makes this something to laugh about, a smartass that is witty and can wax poetic about The Cat in the Hat when he wants to get laid.

Quite possibly the best part of the story is when a grown man becomes trapped in a closet and gets crop dusted by a rogue fart from a corpulent conjoined twin.

Excellent reading but only if you have a thick skin, a healthy sense of twisted humor and are not currently battling with hemorrhoids. If you are a recovering alcoholic it’s not wise to read this, your AA chip will be useless against the pull of the booze.

Definitely shades of “Diary of an Oxygen Thief”.

Juicy plot twists (that I secretly hoped would happen) ensure you stay up late reading.

Funny and probably not something I would admit in public to have read and liked.
