"All I got out of this is: don't look too far into anything, it won't make sense in the next chapter, 'experimental' writing doesn't serve a artistic purpose it's just annoying, there is no character development(or development of anything), and it isn't necessary to describe anal mucus or boys fingering each other in just about every chapter. Stay clear of Burroughs."

"Another amazing book I would not recommend reading on a crowded train with prying eyes around you. All I gotta say is: "rectum plants" and "lubricant flowers"...see what I mean?"
