This memoir
has been intense in every way possible; somehow the gore and Brent’s mixed feelings
make it rather fascinating for me. Some parts are even uncomfortable and
awkward! The way he talked about his sexual needs and pleasures was a whole new
level of honesty that I wasn’t prepared for. I mean just how far is he going to let the
reader in? If it’s all a lie he’s not hiding much!
He did give
us a heads up at the beginning of the book when the typical teenage boy
comments on a girls junk and big boobs, “I swear man did you see Catherine’s tits
in that sweater?” I can take that its normal I hear it every day at my school(
a little too much sometimes), but then sh#$t gets real, “ And one time I noticed
a hole in the crotch of her pants and tried to put my finger in it, but she
said it tickled too much.” I’m pretty sure that takes everybody by surprise and
it reveals Runyon’s liberal style in his writing. Some can argue what he is
saying is pretty controversial, almost like he’s exposing too much, but isn’t that
what a memoir is all about? Once again he is confessing just like in Half a Life and Salvation, still it makes you think: If the writers are aware of
what they want to reveal and what they prefer to hold back, what in god’s name
is Runyon holding back. “When she rubs the top of my thigh, her hand goes in
between my kegs and rubs the inside of my leg. God that feels good. Jesus. God I’m
getting a giant boner”. WOW. That is all I can say about this. It reminds me of
the book Fifty Shades of Grey that is
flying off the bookshelves. Women are going crazy over this erotic novel, and
honestly I even gave it a try (before knowing what I was about to face). The first
few pages seemed interesting, but then …..Oh my… that is weird….Jesus…what the
fudge!!? It was a little too much for me but if it’s making people happy then I
don’t see a problem with it. |
