All the Dirty Parts by Daniel Handler

All the Dirty Parts by Daniel Handler
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I did not like the weird writing style of this book about a boy who is consumed by sex, thoughts of sex, having sex with girls, detailing the many different ways he has sex with girls. Cole gets a bad reputation in high school but he doesn't care; he and his friend go over "all the dirty parts" either by video chat or hanging out together. It is after Cole & his friend experiment (on each other) that a new girl from Europe comes into his life. This time Cole thinks he is in love, but this girl is only out for fun and as time goes on she gets Cole to do the kinds of things Cole did before to others and it is not a good feeling at all. Since Handler has Cole communicate in snippets of information and talk, the reader does not really ever get a good feeling for any character in this story.
