I can't bring myself to finish this book, which almost never happens. I get that the protagonist is "raw" and "unfiltered" but at some point the rape jokes, recklessness and violence has to develop into something in order to keep it interesting. It's described as "hilarious" but truthfully, it's stale. The "raw-ness" of the lead character isn't wild and honest, it's unimaginative and boring. I think Sumell has done a good job with other aspects of the book but they all get buried beneath Alby. At times you lose track of where the story is headed or coming from because Alby goes into some long-winded, overwrought excuse for his violence or offensiveness.

I tried, I really did.
