If they only knew But the book itself was much more than I expected and much less than I expected. Its graphic recount of Lydia's experiences is almost nauseating -- I found myself thoroughly dis. "Ready for a Kick in the Head?" according to Baroness Von Grim. If you are not familiar with Lydia Lunch, then you may be in for a rude awakening.
