Query: A "friend" of mine wanted me to read this...

...some friend. I have attempted to read this book FOUR times now; maybe I need to rate myself 1-star on sheer stupidity, or 5-stars for determination.This book is an abomination of the English language with just about every person, place, and thing placed in a ridiculous context. I believe the author likes to think of himself as witty or funny, but it came across dumb and stupid in every aspect.I liken this book's popularity to that of Kardashians; something I will NEVER be able to understand.
