Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best bathroom reading ever
Review: Like any great bathroom book, you can start at any point in the book and read as much as time allows. It could turn into a few hours though. Then, spend another hour looking at yourself naked in the mirror.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: doomsday sex...
Review: Miss Ruocco writes as if she is reporting on the demise of sex, and yet manages to turn the subject upside-down and make it more interesting than usual. In her capable hands this book becomes a catalog of taboo secrets and fantasies. Compelling stuff.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: She's obsessed and scataological, and great!
Review: Ruocco is obsessed with her rear end, to the point of mania. Quite a scatological book -- at least the first third. Recommeded for those interested in the 21st century wave of avant-pop, avant-porn, post-pos-post-modernist writing. Ruocco is the new Kathy Acker.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: La Ruocco is Art Literary Masterpeice
Review: you can't please all of the people all of the time, all the Neoist-revolutionaries, Christian-Bible-fundamentalist & the post-structuralist atheist xenomorphologists but Laruocco comes close in her Masterpiece. Laroque is an art of thinking outside the wig, once she calibrates the wig -to- contextual box ratio at 0. ref. Zippo p.159, & `Linguistics 101, meaning & proximity' p.116.

if you can get past all the Ass, & "the crack in the constipated spine of the book," & sustain the Literal & metaphoric overlaps & the `Dantéfication' © 1999 of language into the trinity of the fat, protein & the carbohydrate -- into calorie & the identity complexity... it is an amazing & entertaining journey,
written when La Ruocco used normal sentences & paragraphs which she diverges from in her later Work: "Xero, turn-of-the-millenia."

Zippo is about compulsion, it starts out about an obsession w/ underwear, & bodily functions that includes sex, masturbation & coffee drinking, & writing in the café w/ Gabriel Lockwood who lets her use his typewriter
& ends w/ the escape through the Bowels of the planet when she finally finds a flushing toilet in Morocco.

Document Zippo is a glossy paged book filled with diagrams & drawings & photos that may keep enlightening & refreshing to a mind caught-up in decision & consumerism.
