Review: Same jokes, different words.

This is one of those kinds of books that I really tried to like, but then got hyped-down as the jokes grew more sordid to the point that I was actually anxious to get over with this story. The initial premise was pretty cool and the main character, Mary Cooper, was really promising. She was fun, she was strong, she was sarcastic to the bones. However, her behavior got very tiring after the first 50 pages and, honestly, I consider that 170 pages are enough to develop the characters. This is one of the things I thought was the most lacking: the poor character development throughout the story. For the entirety of the book, little to nothing significant is told about the other characters and when there actually is some relevant information, it's something that get repeated over and over.At a certain point of the story, there is a rape situation and, for me, everything fell apart after that, jokes that already were tiring and not funny got to a level that they actually became gross.People who like cheap sarcastic jokes might enjoy this book. This is definitely not for me.
