crispycritter 's review for:

I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones
3.0
slow-paced
Loveable characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Amazing premise, disappointing delivery. Written by a teenage Patrick Batement with little to no self awareness who waffled between wanting us to sympathize with him and wanting us to condemn him. Tolly, our narrator, spent more time complaining about his peanut allergy than he did slashing. One of those frustrating books that was SO CLOSE to being awesome.
