Just finished a book that bothered me at my 'gut' level.

[Bullwinkle925]

"The Unthinkable Thoughts of Jacob Green" by Joshua Braff. I was encouraged to purchase this book at my little independent bookstore because it is supposed to be an uproariously funny book. True, it has its humorous moments, however, the father figure in this book is truly frightening. Any thoughts from those who have read this book?

1. No one has read this? I can't believe it.

2. Haven't read it. I take it the father is abusive? nt

3. self-absorbed megalomaniac and physically abusive

and this book is supposed to be hilariously funny. some parts were, but it really bothered me emotionally.

4. That would bother me too.

Some people think the weirdest things are funny. I've known some people, some of them my relatives, who think kids getting spanked is hysterical. :puke:
