Dumb and PAINFULLY awkward.

I came into this thinking it was a weirdo comedy anthology but it's mostly creepy personal issues stuff with FEW laughs- pure INTRO-types that I pity instead of want to spend time with and enjoy.

This book is a series of examples of what it's like to be drastically un/mal-adjusted which gave me -an avid fan of "abnormal" psychology and confirmed weirdo- a feverish case of the willies!

These creators are the farthest detached of society's artistic "intellectual" outsiders- the types that you may only see in some sort of costumery when they surface from their basements.

THE EXCEPTION=Karen Schneider.

I really liked this book because the emotions it causes are good.
