Kelly's Reviews > We're All Damaged

I liked this book, but it was a little disappointing after Domestic Violets. Maybe it was the fact that I was reading it on a Kindle App, but this book felt so short. Each chapter was 2.5 pages... and while there was some nice activity, it did feel more like a 2-hour Seth Rogan film than a novel. The characters were kind of all over the place and the side stories (like the Glitter guys; the webcam girls; the scene of Andy's grandpa reunited with Dot in heaven - or was it Daisy in the nursing home?) seemed like random crusades for Norman to champion/reference. I still like Norman's prose, his dialogue, and his one-liners, and a lot of lines in the book made me smile, some even made me laugh out loud, but this book lacked continuity and the scenes were so short and visceral that it really felt more like a movie. If you're looking for something light that goes with popcorn and a side of vague meaning, try this.
