Query: As enjoyable as having an attack of hemorrhoids

This is not art. This one deserves a negative star. I had to take a break from reading this when one of the character's started to have a conversation with his excrement. Everything about this book is unpleasant: 1) Writing style was long-winded and dwelled on areas and characters I couldn't care less about. 2) I was amazed that some folks thought it was funny. Any humor in the novel was not clever--just plan mean-spirited. I had to force myself to finish it and was sorry I assaulted my senses by doing so.
