banana_hutch's review against another edition
4.0
It wasn't until his second book got released that I started wondering about Penn's writing, and I decided to pick up a copy of Sock, his first book.
It was great - in a dark, twisted, sock-monkey sort of way. This is the kind of book I'd recommend to my peers, but not my parents. It's graphic and vulgar, and it tells a fascinating story from a unique point of view.
I can't speak for others who have read it, but there were definitely parts that made me feel physically upset. And while feeling upset is not a happy feeling, the ability to reach someone in that way is definitely the mark of great writing.
Great read!
