To read or not to read?....that is a silly question!

I can't believe this is a book by Roald Dahl

Even though I am a big fan of Roald Dahl's, I have to say, DO NOT READ My Uncle Oswald. Just don't. Seriously. The ONLY redeeming quality of this book is this quote: “I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.”  ― Roald Dahl, My Uncle Oswald

That's what drew me to the story in the first place. But other than this one quote in the whole book, it is complete and utter trash. All the other reviewers who said don't read it are dead on.

Sorry, Dahl. It's just too risque.
