Book Review: The Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death: Reflections on Revenge, Germophobia, and Laser Hair Removal - Laurie Notaro

I've read a few of her non-fiction and fiction books and liked them better. This one....I don't know, there were parts that made me laugh out loud, one part that made me cry, and quite a few where I was ready for the chapter to end quicker than it did. I just didn't enjoy this one as much as I did some of the others. Another one of those, it-feels-almost-like-a-chore-to-read-it-books. 

From the GoodReads website: "Laurie Notaro has an uncanny ability to attract insanity–and leave readers doubled over with laughter. In The Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death, she experiences the popular phenomenon of laser hair removal (because at least one of her chins should be stubble-free); bemoans the scourge of the Open Mouth Coughers on America’s airplanes; welcomes the newest ex-con (yay, a sex offender!) to her neighborhood; and watches, against her own better judgment, every Discovery Health Channel special on parasites and tapeworms that has ever aired–resulting in an overwhelming fear that a worm the size of a python will soon come a-knocking on her back door."
