Unintentionally funny. Genuinely one of the worst books I've ever read. He admitted he wrote it extremely quickly and it shows. Everything is shock value; the characters have no chemistry and it is so rushed that their dynamic doesn't even make sense. I had the collection version with 3 other stories and the second one was the most intriguing to me, but it still didn't feel worth my time at the end of reading it. Read if you want a laugh and to feel good about your own writing.
