Read from July 22 to 23, 2012

It's hard to decide what I think of this book. Parts were truly hysterical, and parts were incredibly smart. And a whole lot of it was over-the-top vulgar. I skipped whole sections at times because I just found reading them too crude. But, I wanted to keep reading to find out how it ended, so I kept going overall.

The end was fine; nothing amazing, but a good solid way to end the story. Overall, I'd give the book 2.5 stars if I could, probably. There were definitely some parts to it that elevated it above an "ok" rating. It just wasn't well-balanced enough.

Aaron Goldfarb Michelle,

I don't usually comment on reviews of my book--kinda gauche, don't you think?--but I actually want to tell you I enjoyed reading your review. Thanks.

Aaron

Michelle I think this is the first time I've ever had the author comment on my review before! If I wrote a book though, I'd probably be reading to see what people thought of it, too. I don't think I'm your target audience for this book, but I definitely enjoyed all the bits that weren't about porn and masturbating. :)

(Yeah, sorry... I am an emoticon-kind-of-girl!).


Aaron Goldfarb Absolutely. Still glad you read it. Cheers.

Aaron
