So, I’m the only one in the world who hated this book then?

I hated this damn book so much that my head almost melted. I hated Scott. I hated Sarah even more. I have no idea why anyone would find either one of them even slightly interesting. Apparently I’m supposed to be really impressed by McClanahan's prose style, but to me, it sounded like a C student trying to do an impression of Holden Caulfield.

I would have thrown the damn book across the room by page 40 or so, but I forged ahead because of all the ecstatic reviews here and elsewhere. Don’t be like me. Do something more productive with your time, like, I don’t know, making an army of dough soldiers and then eating it. Folding a bunch of bananas. Anything other than reading this book.
