Funny as Hell

This book is angry. It's funny but it's also angry. The lead character Charlie suffers a neverous breakdown form drink and drugs at his wedding to Sarah and gets to see his whole life is ripped apart - by himself and others. Sometimes when I was reading it I felt like Robinson was trying to rip men apart as well, I mean, you can hear (read) the anger here in the writer's voice. Real anger, but that's what makes it so funny. Charlie can be hard to like sometimes, he's a good tour guide through a breakdown and how it is you come out of the other side without being cynical. Almost being reborn out fo the ashes of your old life. Cool book. If the author is reading this I'd like the next one to be even darker please hahaha.
