It didn't help Macaulay Culkin's debut novel that publishers Mirimax wrote the most ridiculously over the top press release ever, declaring Junior to be "breathtaking proof that Culkin has found his own utterly original voice". Oh it's original alright, in the sense that no one, not even the author himself, is quite sure what the book is meant to be. Thus, inside the lurid yellow cover lie disturbed-sounding rants, fractured thoughts and terribly poor jokes interspersed with cartoon characters scratched onto the page and, most bizarrely of all, a clutch of half-written quizzes. Head-spinningly incoherent, it made many Hollywood insiders fear for the young actor's state of mind. Still, if there's one thing that can be said for Culkin's literary ambitions, it's that they're infinitely more tolerable than his band The Pizza Underground. Google at your own peril.
