If you would like to read this book, keep in mind that it was written in 2003. Roach uses some language that probably wouldn't be used today such as calling people "jews" and other similarly upsetting things. It doesn't seem like she had bad intentions but its just something you should be weary of when enjoying this book.
Chapter 10 was very gross and interesting. 4.5/5 stars :)
