I did not enjoy this one at all. The author focuses far too much on body parts and bodily functions and fluids. Characters have breath that smells like "old pork chop sandwiches," and other rancid descriptions; discussion of men's genitals goes on at length, it surprises the narrator than women have hair in their armpits, etc., etc. And that's just a very, very small sampling of the obsessive focus on body parts and functions. Where is the story here? Lost in how badly people smell, it seems. Ugh.
