This feels like if Adult Swim commissioned a book. It's nihilistic, absurd, wantonly crude and offensive, and impressively well structured, and very funny - if you find the reality of human awfulness funny, which I do, if it's done well, which this is. This book is ridiculous and endlessly silly, but also quite clever, and there are some interesting notions about the nature of existence resting just beneath the surface of the crazy goings-on in this book. So much fun to read, and I got through it super quickly because the pacing is fantastic!
