So I started reading this book Mid – October. And I don’t know why I only actually finished this one last week of December. It was quite interesting from the start – the way this 13 year old girl was able to paint a picture of how hell is in the eyes of Chuck.
To get you started, here are some places in Chuck’s Hell:
- Great Ocean of Wasted Sperm
- Blood
- Swamp of Partial Abortions
- Swamp of Unwanted pregnancies
- Sea of Insects
- Great Plains of Broken Glass
- Endless array of Cages
- Steaming Mountain of Dog Piles
- Swamp of Rancid Perspiration
- Meadow of Unchecked Toenail Fungus
- Desert of Dandruff
- Volcano of Surly guffaws
- Thicket of Amputated Limbs
- River of Hot Saliva
You can also read the 18 quotes I picked from the book.
