What appears to be adult material that’s aimed at a younger audience. Our protagonist is fifteen and goes to an all-boy Catholic High School. He has trouble at school. His older brother is too consumed with sex to help him out. His mother is an oblivious pill-head and he has an absentee father. He discovers a video in his father’s closet - a man being prepared for surgery. He’s intrigued. What follows is said to be a bloody nightmare that’s part Edward Lee novel and part humorous coming-of-age story. Goofy combination, goofy enough to make what’s left of my eyebrows go up. #49842
