  • An awful book.1

    Peter Smith It's great the author had good intentions, but this book ruined my life.

    I regret to this day even picking it up (and I only did so to please a friend who told me it was his favourite book as a kid). The storyline is formulaic and insipid, the characters were utterly -- UTTERLY -- unlikeable. I tried very hard to find anything sympathetic about ANY of them, and got nothing. The protagonist is a self-obsessed noxious vapid idiot who I'd cross the street to avoid. And all the other characters are WORSE.

    There has to be something likable about SOMEBODY in this book ... but there isn't. The author's attempt to relate to his intended audience is condescending, patronising and insulting. The assumptions are gross and unfounded, the humour disgusting, and his attempts at painting a realistic picture of life would be laughably ludicrous if they weren't so mind-numbingly offensive.

    Dreadful. Offensive. Insulting. Stereotypical. Painful. Condescending. I don't have the words to describe just how great my loathing is for this piece of fiction. Actually reading this book was one of the worst experiences of my life.

    And I regret not immediately throwing the book into the nearest recycling bin (at least then, it might've been turned to mulch and put on a garden somewhere, so SOMEBODY would get something out of it).

    This book is toxic. Avoid at all costs. by Peter Smith
