I ate a conservative. He gave me gas. is a collection of short stories by Jason Earley. It has a table of contents containing the eight different stories and a comedic chapter. The book talked about separate aspects such as the ills of America, racism, and some others. It ended by giving a list of jokes for comic relief. The author's style of writing is exceptional and ambiguous. The fact that the author kept admitting the complexity of his sentences and words made the book unique. Conversations made in the stories were written in the form of drama dialogues.

The only issue readers would have is following up on the author's stories. Eventually, with greater concentration, readers would grasp the point the author tries to convey. I think it would be completely impossible for any reader to fully understand the author's narrative. I learned many things and was exposed to lots of new vocabulary. One part that was humorous to me was where he mentioned the lawsuit against McDonald's by a parent who didn't let her chicken cool, burning her child. I wasn't quite able to understand the first story, but I enjoyed reading "ET, we're waiting." I also liked the story where the author created his version of a staged movie. I had to look up the original film and compare it with the author's sentiment.

There were errors in the book knowingly created by the author, so I won't consider them objective. I laughed at some of the jokes made by the author while I found some difficult to understand. Most of the stories were based on America, and I loved his criticism of America, as they contained facts. I would give the book 5 out of 5 stars. The difficulty in understanding the author is purely attributed to his writing style. I admire the author's application of art and effort in his work, even though readers might find them complex. The author's words are cryptic, and he encourages readers to follow up closely as their meanings fall into place.

There were consistent uses of severe profanities and sexual terms, so the book is not recommended for younger readers. It should be read by those who have the patience to understand the complexity of the writer's words.
