Charming, dark, and not at all typical

Through school years of turbulence, relations far and wide with drugs and demons, through the good times and the bad--Jester's accounts remind us just how deep life's well goes. We all have our neurological quirks (albeit dystonia goes beyond), and we've all been in the pits after reaching the peaks. But David Jester has a way of recounting it, which is simply unique. Witticisms, truth, satire, and absurdity combine to create a tale that is both entertainingly dark (post-South Park Tourettes) and downright funny. The author's treatment of a serious and provocative lifeline avoids the typical depressive pitfalls of similar works in the genre. In Jester, we are clearly dealing with a sharp and seasoned writer.
