If these books were sex, and I got sex more regularly than I do, these would be the best of that sex. But books are not sex and so this metaphor does not work.
These books are more like crystal meth anyway. You go through them fast and want more, much more. But you've exhausted all your stock so now you're left angry and confused. You want to punch someone, you want to punch a child. But you don't. That would be wrong. So instead you re-read everything Sam Pink has written, and then read it some more.
I was once kicked in the face by a cute girl I tried to make love too but was too drunk. Hurt Others and The No Hellos Diet reminded me of that. It was funny, but really intense. I remember then thinking I should write a book about this event, but I didn't. Then I read these books and the memory flowed back.
These books are really fucking good, is what I'm trying to convey here.
this is a good review. i think if sam pink saw this review he would feel pretty good.

I think if Sam Pink saw this review he would hate me. I hope Sam Pink does not see this review because I would hate for him to hate me.
