I wanted to give this book 2 stars, but the very last story broke my heart to pieces, and it's for these emotions that I give this book 3 stars. However it if far from perfect - the author writes like a man who read a little bit too much of Bukowski's prose and let it get into his head. To say the least.

most of the stories were bad. i think I only liked the two before the last one, but man it is very funny. i swear half my camera roll now is just the stupid things like monkey dreaming and toxic burger king pee.
