In the beginning, this was a little slow for me. I was super stoked to get this book because it’s autographed and Cannibal The musical is one of my all-time favorite movies. I never get sick of it. But yeah, this book started off a little slow and then about 30 pages into it I became completely obsessed and finished it within a few few days. It’s a quick fun read. It’s not super well written, it’s a little cheesy and cringe at times, but it’s a good laugh and kind of a roller coaster ride. Overall, I really enjoyed it.
