Jason is starting Theo of Golden: Reading this book is a miserable experiencee. If I weren't committed to finishing this for a book club, I would gladly send it back to the library and purge any memory of goddamn theo of fuckin golden from my memory with household cleaners. It might be good for squishing bugs, but you could use a hammer instead. Fuck this book. Theo of Golden by Allen Levi (Goodreads Author) progress:	Error rating book. Refresh and try again.
