Not so much in its plot or content, but rather in effect-it was a dog book that brought many a grown man to sad, secret tears.

As Alexander flees, he takes out his aggression on a giant hot dog, which is unfortunate, as starving kids in India would have rather enjoyed that meal. He gets his karmic retribution moments later when Katy Perry’s scary-ass entourage of similarly jilted brides begins to circle him, menacingly wielding baseball bats.
