This is an extremely strange and slightly repulsive story. And yet, I feel compelled to read more by this author. I think it was the barbecue catfish joint.

Max and I go way back.. Like, way, way back..
Unfortunately this book doesn’t really feel like the good old Max, because this Max is smiling and he’s polite, and all these weird things, which means it’s not funny at all. And the best thing about Max is that he is, yes very weird, but he also makes me laugh.. This Max? Not so much.
It’s about Max Wilson, who at the age of 35 decides to move out of his Mom’s house, and he does so by enrolling into seminary school, but doesn’t really attend, no, he just wants to set up a hidden camera in a prostitutes room, so he could catch the CEO/Principle/High Priest/whatever of the seminary school in the act, and holy crap dude, I have no idea what this is about..
Honestly. I have no idea..
Max is back, but then again, nope, not really...
2 stars.
