Dr. Smith: "Oh the pain, the pain."

Past the halfway point and after a strong start this book is going downhill faster than the stock market whenever Donald Trump says or does some irresponsible dumbassery. Every page, its stock devalues as it repeats the same patterns of nothingness. Last night I already wrote my review but won't post it till I finish the book. I'm afraid it won't be pretty. Lit bros, you've been warned.
