Crazy-Beautiful, by Lauren Baratz-Logsted

[rachelmanija]

This book is so crazily, beautifully, awesomely bad that it was reviewed as a birthday present for me by two different friends, without either knowing what the other had planned. It’s so awesomely bad that it comes out the other side and becomes almost good. I certainly enjoyed reading it, and frequently laughed aloud.

I wonder how many dead babies Aurora Belle has diapered?

I found that it was both better than I expected and worse at the same time. I also thought it wasn't that she was a bad writer, it was more like she got lost in the concept somehow. Also i still think they're the pincer hooks, not the Capt. Hook hooks.

HOOKS FOR HANDS.

[rachelmanija]

They're clearly pincers, but because everyone calls them hooks, I kept picturing Captain Hook hooks.

generally at least once per page, and often two to ten times per page

Holy...frequency.

This is Aurora Belle explaining how soundly she has always slept: …it was like trying to diaper a dead baby.

I need an icon of absolute bogglement.

the extended musing on the physical impossibility of having sex when you have HOOKS for hand

Couldn't you just...take the hooks off?
