The Killbug Eulogies
You know how sometimes you read a book, and you really like it, but at the same time you're vaguely ashamed of yourself for liking it? Like you think "I should have outgrown this part of me by now, right?"
But, you did really like it. You even highlighted your favorite lines (of which there were many). And even though you were definitely at least vaguely disgusted by some of it, you were also like:
That was me reading The Killbug Eulogies.
I randomly kind of exploded into laughter so much that my daughter went from saying "What's so funny, Mommy?" to "Are you reading that Adult book again?" At which I would sheepishly admit that I was, and silence would reign until it was ruined by my laughing. Again.
Now, it wasn't all fun and piles of bugsh*t. There was at least one eulogy near the end that I definitely skimmed. And then the author does this really weird twist at the end that I wasn't expecting. And I don't know what to think of it.
It definitely left me wondering. And I kind of really need to know if what was intuited was truth or crazy. It was a slightly more than WTF ending that left me feeling vaguely unsettled about a book that I was already vaguely unsettled about. (Well, about the liking it so much part.)
Overall, The Killbug Eulogies is definitely a funny read, but it is a crude one. Like... if Starship Troopers was Rifftraxed by a gaggle of potty-mouthed comedians speaking as one. Approach with caution, laugh with possible mild embarrassment, and hide the book from your children!
I loved it!
