You Only Need One Kidney, so I Removed One of Mine and Made It Into My Butler; Also, My House Is Haunted by the Ghost of Blockbuster Video:
"What a profound contribution to modern literature. Truly, this novella reshaped my understanding of humanity, morality, and stocked my brain with more nuggets of wisdom than I can feasibly add to this review. Here are just a few life changing lessons"
