A story of brotherly love... (0 more)
Ten year old Marty loves his brother Steve. But Steve has been acting very weird recently and Marty is about to reveal the shocking truth as to why...

Written from the perspective of Marty this is a well written and gruesome little novel of how situations can quickly escalate and spiral out of control. Fast paced, the darkest of humour and plenty of blood and gore keep this twisted story going at full pelt for its brief 137pages. Highly recommended for those that have a strong disposition and cast iron gut!
Now where did I leave my bowling bag?

Weird
This was a strange one. The acting and cinematography were just ok. The story was, well, strong with the "strange" factor. The main character was just plain crazy(is there such a thing?). In the description it says she's "unstable". That's putting it mildly. She comes of art first as shy and lonely but keeps making the worst choices she could make throughout the whole movie yet things end up basically covering up her craziness. Anyway, overall this really wasn't very entertaining. Nothing too graphic(some mild sexual content and violence)but not really for kids. Which doesn't matter because it's NOT worth a watch.

I read this in one sitting and it was intense, creepy, crazy, and got really weird. It's a very gothic story and atmosphere that is an appropriate type of read for this time of year with the cold, dark winter and everything. This book does pretty much live up to the hype.
The only thing with this book I'd caution is that toward the end what I noticed more is that there's some profanity/crude language and a bit of a shock at the end with a brief bit of gore and violence that grossed me out, but other than that I enjoyed this quite a bit.

Wacky and surreal
Innovative
Wacky, "failed experiment" in Gonzo Journalism
This is one of my all-time favourite books, written by one of my all-time favourite people and authors. It is a surreal and somewhat insane story based on the real life adventures of Hunter S. Thompson, on his journey to Las Vegas in search of the "American Dream." It is a wacky, drug-fuelled, stream-of-consciousness narrative that is among one of the innovative titles in a form of New Journalism called Gonzo Journalism, accredited to Thompson. It is quite a surreal read, strange and weird but completely thrilling!
Thompson regarded it as a "failed experiment"' in Gonzo Journalism due to the fact it was edited several times before publication. Typically, a Gonzo work would be written by and about the author in the present, sent away without being edited, resulting in a stream-of-consciousness narrative and more personality. Gonzo works are far more revealing, fiction-like and personal than typical works of journalism. Despite the fact it was edited, however, I feel F&L still emulates everything Thompson wanted in a true Gonzo way. He holds nothing back, reveals everything and created a story than could be fiction. It is a drug-fuelled look at the failure of the American Dream, an astute analysis of Thompson's society and a weird book that will stay with you forever.
