You made me laugh :)
Whew. One less guilty feeling about this tome sitting on one of my shelves. And the nails probably prevent that annoying tendency of parts of our skull just dropping off in the parking lot ...
Now I don't feel like a dumbass for giving up 100 pages in. I was fascinated though, by that drink they kept drinking at parties. Something planty and full of cannabinoids I think. I think it was this book. Even the parties were boring.
Hahaha. Even though I completely disagree with this review, I found this description funny. It's a pity though that you gave up so soon on it. It's much more than cutesy characters. The fun starts when the crazy ones start pouring in - from perverted uncles to morbid Arabic teachers.
Somehow the spirit of the book was for me stuck in the 1990's, and not just after the second world war, lacked the atmosphere of the time.
