I'm fairly certain that the overly judgmental tone of this book would have me wanting to throw it against the wall fairly quickly. I love satire, but criticism just for the sake of criticism is something I have little patience for. I'll give this one a pass. Thanks for the honest review!

I like the premise of this in theory, and it could be great with the right tone. But you are right, focusing on other people's personal preferences rather than actual societal issues just makes the author look like the jerk. Thanks for a great review!

I believe that good stories can also be written with minimal profanity. I'm happy that you put the point in your review. Wonderful review!

I agree, but also need to mention that the spicy dictionary (label of these annoying people) could be quite handy in certain moments. Thanks for stopping by, Ekta!
