Sex, Death and Travel : A Novel

Summary: Fabulous read...
Review: A fabulous and wildly exciting read by a mind boggling and intense author. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to think outside the box and enjoys dark humor, for it is certainly not a book for the weak minded individual.

Summary: A pretty accurate depiction
Review: As the basis for one of the characters in the book (Esmerelda), I can attest to the fact that most of what's there is absolutely true, believe it or not. Those were some wild days, to say the least ... drugs, sex, murder and on and on. I'd say Morgan wrote it all pretty accurately, except for a few cosmetic alterations here and there. All in all, not only accurate but compelling. Two thumbs up.

Summary: Entertaining but Unoriginal
Review: Even if the events are true, which seems doubtful, this book is a weak version of Ellis' American Psycho. The author steals from a wide variety of authors including Vonnegut and Ellis. He even steals from himself; several passages and scenes are repeated over and over.
I did, however, find the author's blantant and not very subtle attempts to shock and manipulate the reader some-what entertaining.
I would recommend this book, but only after reading American Psycho.

Summary: A whirlwind
Review: My god, this book is a whirlwind of sex, drugs, violence, mayhem ... everything that makes life worthwhile. Some parts are offensive, so I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, but if you like very raw reality with a lot of humor thrown in, this is the book for you. Also, his writing style is like nothing I've ever seen before. Part confession, part stream-of-consciousness, part crazy rant ... it's a quick read and I couldn't put it down.

Summary: A pleasant surprise
Review: Someone recommended this book to me as a joke, but I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised. On a superficial level, it's a gross-out book, plain and simple. Shock value on every page, the author trying to best himself with more and more sex and blood ... but if you actually bother to read the book, the real text, you'll find it's an incredibly insightful story with observations on everything from science to society. I think true intellectuals will love it for the author's observations and analysis, gore-lovers will love it for the blood and guts, and probably everyone else will hate it.

Summary: Barf bag, please.
Review: The author seems to have invented literary autofellatio. He supposedly lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. Women, drugs, danger, etc, and uses this book as a medium to brag about his trumped-up tales. Visit his website for more vomitous braggartry. If the author were any more self-centered, he would just learn real autofellatio and give up on women. Or maybe he already had that rib removed.
