I DON'T WANNA GO TO HELL TODAY!

Man, this book is not very good.
There's really a lot of whores in it though. But not really in a good way. No prostitutes or harlots. Just whores. I was speaking with Lani about this in church yesterday (surely we worried some people around us). It actually has a pretty neat premise. I like some of the ideas the guy is going for, but he kinda sucks at writing and making a character that I care about.
So far the main character "Ned," is overweight, has gross hair, and spends all of his time "whoring." And all the ladies scratch their crotch. It's weird. But the writer doesn't even go out of his way to make the whores attractive. One is really overweight, the other has hairy nipples. "A ring of fuzz around them."
I have just finished Part one, and it reminded me how there can be so many children that dislike reading. Seriously. Each paragraph drains me of a little bit of my life force and youthful vigor. It will be good when this book is done and we can move onto another.
Also, Ned suffers from terrible visions and will spontaneously drop to his knees and scream. Like, he does this a lot. On the plus side, it gave me a wonderful idea for a short story. It's gonna be sweet.
