LA, might as well throw California in there too, might be one of the worst places to go to in the USA and this book of poetry expresses that sentiment in a very poetic and funny way. Absolutely worth purchasing and one should go to poetry readings just to read excerpts from this..... Especially if there is someone wearing a Che shirt..... Lol

About the author
Literally laughed to the point of tears
Disclosures: I lived in LA for a few miserable months to do a TV show, and I'm a fan of all things Heaton. When Andrew said "I wrote a book of poems," I thought "Well, that was probably a waste of time." Then he showed me the book, and out of politeness, I opened to random pages and involuntarily began to grin. Each time I saw the title of a new poem, I felt a flood of nostalgia for experiencing everything stupid about LA. I felt Heaton's genuine rage (knowing that he wrote this, trapped in the city during the pandemic). But most of all, I fell immediately for the acerbic wit of someone who drew vivid pictures and metaphors of the worst things about that wonderful town. To be clear: I don't hate LA. I think it's a lovely place to visit, but I place I would never, ever want to live. But if you want a vivid and hilarious pastiche of all the unfortunately hideous parts of the city, this book is for you. Recommended for: gifts for anyone going to or coming from or has been to LA, or people who live in LA with a sense of humor. Not Recommended for: People who live in LA and somehow have never noticed the ugly parts and refuse to acknowledge they exist, and also have no sense of humor.
