Sex, Death and Travel

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 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.
