This book is funny, but I don't think exactly up my alley. I always try to read books that have been recommended to me immediately and my uncle gave this to me because he thought it was funny. And he's right! I'd just like to go on to something with a plot now. But hey, look at my first ACTUAL Goodreads entry!

 A bit crude, but that's ultimately part of the charm of a book about retelling myths as a weird story one of your drugged-out friends decided to grace you with. Some of the humor has (and will continue) to age, but I did enjoy a more unconventional take on some familiar (and not so familiar) stories.

This book was literally one of the most funniest and amazing books I've ever read. The author didn't stray from the original story but made it even more entertaining and modernized than how it was originally told. Some people might get offended but its fiction. And I'd like to believe that all these things actually happened (in a more mature and calming way) Although some things may have not happened so calmly. With the dong eating and literally having sex with one's Shadow but other than that, this was book was just pure and utter awesomeness.
