Oh, for fuck's sake. I felt like the kids in the Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie episode, where they're crying because the cartoon characters never make it to the fucking fireworks factory. The narrator blathers on about her vibrator (ooh so edgy) and her girlfriend (ooh so quirky) and going to the loo (ooh so gritty) and how much she wants to fuck some guy and her clumsiness and... I don't care! This is like every other fucking boring fucking novel! Tell me about the goddamn slapstick deradicalisation program that's the whole reason I'm here!!! Fuck's SAKE!
