DNF - I have no idea what is going on in this book. I got to the part about a robbery and a rape scene with a bottle? and gave up.
Smug Dad
With everything twisted is Smug Dad or is Doug Mad?
by Jason Roche
Description
The modern male ego...fallible yet ultimately malleable.
Douglas Perfors is pretty damn close to perfect...perfect wife, perfect children, perfect physique, perfect job, perfect house, perfect intentions...yet unaware of this adulation and seamless displays of it, he has become nothing other than smug; a Smug Dad.
Add in a pre-kids backstory steeped in domestic tedium, a surreal TV watching compulsion and a procreatory feminist pact, everything is flipped from Smug Dad to Doug's Mad.
I just did not get the book. There was humor, but then it became overkill. I gave up 60% of the book. Seemed to be trying too hard,and became senseless.
