League Book Club Post #4: Happy Hour of the Damned by Mark Henry SPOILERS!

posted by December/Stacia at 12:10 PM

SPOILER DAY!! Whee!

And by "spoiler" I mean "give away secrets about the book", not "rotten stinky corpse" or "more ways to make fun of Mark" (well, okay, I kind of do mean that. But still.)

So spill it. What was your favorite part? Why? Which bit made you laugh hardest? Did you crave a coffee after finishing?

I have to agree with Tez's comment the other day. My fave footnote is "I'm talking anal, bitches."

I also loved the part about her skin care regimine. I actually felt shame because I never use toner. Amanda would be so disappointed.

She really would, Jaye. It's shameful.

Spoilers. Spoilers. Hmmmm.

How about this...

Happy Hour is not a romance, because Amanda eats her boyfriend!

Yeah, I felt ashamed too when she was going on and on about using moisturizer and toner and all that.

Ohmygod, Mark, I LOVE that part where she confesses to eating him! It was hilarious.

And oh! the bathroom scene when Wendy has diarrhea because she ate chocolate cake.

PRICELESS.

I don't use toner either, and the first footnote that made me totally lose it was "Little. Different. Deadly."

I loved the 12-step meeting. And Wendy's elaborate death plans.

I have to tell you that I did laugh quite a bit at poor Wendy (the character, not the commentor). Her Twix addiction becomes even more problematic in book 2. Sad, really.

The 12 step group was a response to thinking about what they make those poor gay teens go through when they try to pray the gay out of them. Pathetic, unrealistic and ultimately hilarious.

Mark this just makes me laugh!I love the play on words..eats her boyfriend..heh..It's is also my favorite part. That and when they eat the dudes in the bondo car.
I am very amused with Ricardo. I hope we get to read more of him!!!

I was looking through the book and these are a few of my favorite footnotes -

Use your imagination. Jesus! Do I have to tell you everything? I blew him. Don't make that face. You've done it, too.

Zombie or retard? You be the judge.

If you don't stop thinking those dirty thoughts, you're going to have to seriously consider joining a 12-step for sex addicts. Now, how would your girlfriend/boyfriend react to that? It's just not fair to them. So embarrassing.

Public displays of affection, while romantic to those involved, are, in fact disturbing and icky. Leaving the witnesses as violated as molested children. Offenders: please make a note of it, and correct your behavior.

Mark, what page is the Wendy diarrhea? I can't find it!

Zombie or retard? You be the judge.>>

Oh my god, this is so funny.I forgot about that one.. Mark you should be ashamed!

Wendy - it's right after the burlesque show at Convent.

Synde - Yes, I SHOULD. As it turns out, not so much.

April 4, 2008 12:41 AM  

Ooooh, that Burlesque show was SICK.

April 4, 2008 12:40 PM  

my two fav footnotes were:
"Zombie or retard? You be the judge."
"I'm talking anal, bitches don't be coy"

I about PIMP when read those.
