Title: horrendous: perfectly horrid : DREADFUL
Product review: That title is the Merriam-Webster definition of the word "horrendous" and it aptly describes this book. Undoubtedly a talented writer, Tosches is so enamored with himself that he pollutes what could have been a great story with what can only be called "omni-loathing" -- one of his personas despises everything and everyone and his other(s) simply love himself so much that the story of Dante is lost and the story of Louie and "Nick" and the other scum Tosches apparently associates with becomes simply unreadable. Profanity and punditry aside (although it is difficult to put such vast amounts of it aside), this book is simply terrible and, for the fleeting glimpses of beuaty that manage to rise through the rest of his vitriol, a tragic failure.Tosches did accomplish one thing with this book and after reading it I did something that I have never before done - threw it in the garbage where it belongs.
