Raymond Gunt, the narrator of Worst.
Person. Ever., is a cad, a cur, a rotter, a scoundrel and a womanizer. He is also a cameraman who is hired to work
on a reality television show. He is told
he needs an assistant and rescues a homeless man, Neal, from the streets of
London, cleans him up, and they set off for an island in the Pacific.
On their way to the film site the two
encounter all sorts of adventures and upheavals. There are obscenities galore, references to
body parts and sexual activities galore.
These men are after women.
Raymond is such a louse that he is
called “Worst. Person. Ever.” emphatically, by at least three different
individuals, before one is halfway through the book. The book is funny, however, and the
determination the two men exhibit in their quest for “companionship” is
admirable. Due to language and some
descriptive passages, I would say this book is not for everyone but I enjoyed
it a lot.
