I find it endlessly amusing... that a book that SHITTY perfectly describes America. It's Kid Rock performing BawWitDaBaw for Howard Stern's Birthday in 2000 THE NOVEL both in form and content. And so as it's an endless source of amusement in that respect, I think the title is apt.

It's a funny book they just have no joy and had no childhood because they spent it pretending to be older than they were in a desperate effort to earn someone's praise.
