this book is literally the worst garbage I've ever read
This is LITERALLY the worst book I've ever read in my entire life. In fact, it's so bad that I've had to read it through several times just to make sure that it's that bad.
It is.
Before I go any further, I'd like to clarify something as someone who has read this book more than once: There ARE NO DINOSAURS OR ALIENS IN THIS BOOK. The author simply told his 'fans' to spam the reviews with their own false reviews so he could flood out all negative criticisms of his book. Only read this if you want to read something so bad it's funny.
Grammatical errors and syntax errors are common and happen at least three or four times a chapter. This book was obviously written by somebody who didn't have a competent editor. There is no discernible plot. Instead, the book simply offers up different days in the author's life with no build-up and no sort of resolution when the book's over. This is mostly because there is nothing to resolve. There is no plot. The book seems to just be some sort of wish fulfillment self-insert fanfiction designed to make the author feel better about the things that happened in his past.
None of the characters have descriptions and they all speak and act the same. They are all basically the same as the main character - pessimistic, hateful and nihilistic. The main character flip-flops and contradicts himself more times than I can count. He isn't able to think past his own feelings and opinions, and judges EVERYONE in the story except for his mother and his girlfriend. Everyone else is labeled as a 'stupid jock' or an 'unexamined idiot.' Everything and everyone in the book serves only to make the main character feel better about himself. For example, after the death of Davis, the best friend, there is a funeral. During the funeral, Davis's mother reads her eulogy and, instead of being about her dead son, it's just about the main character and how great he is.
This book made me sick to my stomach several times, and I had to set it down multiple times just so I could take a break from the absolute wank-fest within. Don't read this unless you're ready to hate read it.
