I would say that I just don't think I am the right audience for the book. The humor and plot points just really didn't connect with me. I felt like as though sex, gore, and masturbation where just tools for the story but not really acknowledged that these were children experiencing them. The main character acting just like an adult and just seemed to one traumatic story to the next with us just accepting that was part of the plot. But there wasn't even really a plot for that to support. There was all this build up to a ending that felt lack luster. There was potential here and it was throughly missed. Not the worst but did have to force myself to finish a little.
