Geek Love : A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Interseting Yet Very Twisted
Review: This book was really interesting. Although it was twisted and at times almost disgustingly horrifiying, I really enjoyed the book. It had a good view point on how people judge and percieve others. I thought it was fasinatingly gross. Check out this book. It was very neat.

Summary: Stunning
Review: Thematically, this book will last forever. I don't think anyone before or since has written about something so strange.

Rating:
Summary: crazy weird
Review: If you can get past the fact that people are purposely taking drugs to make babies with deformities this book is fantastic. It's such a good read that you want to keep reading yet wish it would never end. Circus folk are curiously strange people, but I never thought they could be this far gone. Read this one.

Rating:
Summary: weird and very good
Review: This is a consistently imaginative book. It's a blast to read. It almost slips too far from reality in the final third, but it was certainly one of the funnest books I ever read.

Rating:
Summary: Good but disturbing
Review: The main chharacter is fascinating. Some of the elements and motives are disturbing. I think the best and the worst of "humans" was portrayed.

Rating:
Summary: Top Five
Review: What imagination! This is one of my top five books ever. Once I picked it up I could not put it down.

Rating:
Summary: Surreal brilliance
Review: Geek Love is a bizarre tale, true, but it is arguablly one of the best books I have read in years. The imagery is wonderful, and though the subject matter is disturbing, Dunn gives her characters a humane sense that is often lost in contemporary novels. Fans of Vonnegut and later Coupland should rejoice; this book is a gem.

Rating:
Summary: My favorite novel...
Review: The most original book I've ever encountered. Ms. Dunn creates a fantastic world of odd charcters, one which will not only shock and disturb you, but also make you laugh. I'm currently reading it for the second time and enjoying it even more than the first. I'd recommend this book to any adventurous reader...no matter what your final opinion, it will definitely stay with you and make you think.

Summary: In Bad Taste
Review: I had to read this book for an English Lit course and I really had a very hard time finishing it. I must be pretty abnormal since most reviews were good. I found the content very disturbing. For someone's mind to come up with such horrific actions which I feel are immoral as well as sick must have a twisted outlook on life. I really couldn't see the author's point. The ending was a pretty common ending to murder, incest and drug taking. There are so many wonderful literary books out there, I can't understand why a Professor would recommend this book.

Rating:
Summary: disturbing AND wonderful
Review: don't listen to the previous reviewer who attempts to spoil the ending of this book, but didn't actually bother to finish reading it and is wrong about the plot. this is an amazing book. it really made me question some things I thought of as universal truths, and that's one of the best things any book can do.
