such interesting writing, the structure of it is really fantastic! 
read tws as when i started reading it i thought ‘hm this is pretty tame for cooper!’ then it gets extremely graphic like his other work so. if you can get through it, i got a lot out of the ending

hm. could have done without the graphic pedo rape/sa scenes but coopers writing is truly addictive. there were many moments i thought of closing the book and not finishing it because of the gratuitous content….but i just kept reading because of how much i enjoyed the main char, ziggy.
sooo would i recommend reading this? umm no probably not, unless you are already a fan of dennis cooper i dont think its going to be a fun read!
