Disco Rice – Robert Essig

4 stars

JUST BECAUSE THERE’S A HOLE DOESN’T MEAN YOU NEED TO STICK YOUR JUNK IN IT…….thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I think this is the first book I’ve ever read where I’ve been green throughout the entire book. From the very first chapter, Disco Rice was horrifyingly gross, and it just kept going from there! I read this book while in public, so did my level best to keep a straight face, but I don’t think there was a single moment where my internal face wasn’t screwed up in incredulous disgust!

I want to feel bad for the MMC because he’s clearly got something going on and he’s not the best with understanding society’s cues and the dos and don’ts……..BUT THE MAGGOTS 🤢 my sympathy found itself evaporating rather quickly as the book went on and more and more terrible things were being done. I could almost taste the smell of that house by the end; highly unpleasant…

Robert always gives me a great read (even though the last one gave me roach nightmares and this one will probably give me flies and maggot nightmares) and this story was an extremely entertaining way for me to pass my morning!
