Wanting to read it blind, she did as little research as possible on the book beforehand, only knowing that the author was made fun of for relying on food stamps leading up to her death. As she worked through the book, it was shaping up to be a masterpiece satire on much the same level of A Modest Proposal.
It was only upon finishing the book and looking through the other reviews on Goodreads that she realized it was not satirical.
With the way things are going, the next generation will have all three!
