Relative Insanity

by Shauna Glenn

"From the title, I thought this was a book to help me deal with my brother's bi-polar disorder, because he's spiraling down very quickly and I needed immediate assistance. He's dead now, but man, this book was funny!" --Adam Heath Avitable, author of Avitable.com "This book is good birth control. It will also make you laugh like hell. You should buy it because it's hard to find that kind of combination without a medical prescription." --Jenny Lawson, TheBloggess.com "Shauna Glenn is from that rare breed of authors who can make you laugh until you cry even when she's writing about the most raw and visceral human emotions. Driven by heart and hilarity, RELATIVE INSANITY might just be Shauna's best novel yet." --Danny Evans, author of RAGE AGAINST THE MESHUGENAH

This wasn’t truly terrible but it also wasn’t… good. Needs editing. It’s hard to translate a bloggy voice into a fiction voice and her ideas deserved better editing to make that happen imo.

An entertaining read, although I couldn't get over feeling that i was reading the author's diary. I suppose that's one of the inevitable perils of reading fiction written by well-known bloggers. I might have given the book four stars if not for the apparently nonexistent editing (Kindle edition). When there are so many errors that one wants to start a drinking game, someone needs to lose their job. Can't blame the author for that, but it certainly tempered my enjoyment of the book.
