Title: An ugly story that killed my soul
Product review: I picked this up because it was supposed to be funny. "Joe R. Landsdale is sure to keep you laughing," said the quote from Publishers Weekly right on the cover. So I figured I'd give it a try.Man, this is one mean-spirited, depressing piece of fiction. There is so much violence, cruelty, and negativity in these pages that I could only get halfway through it. I guess I'm just too sensitive because I can't have characters being tortured, beaten, and abused in graphic detail and then just turn around and laugh at some stupid joke.And the jokes aren't even very good.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
