Be
Safe *** By:

If
you like hilariously WEIRD books > here it is. My mind was
stretched so far..... I think it exploded.
Mind
blown > going to go pick up all the pieces now.
Did
this author get dropped on his head as an infant or what?
Can
a book's characters ever be TOO well described? In this book, the
answer just might be YES!
Did
the book have me “laughing out loud” and “rolling on the
floor”? Yes, between the parts where I was literally asking …..
wtf? …. ohhh..... my mercy …... interspersed with the random
ugh..... awe hell naw.
The
story begins with the main character, Albert Sykes, being in the
Criminal Courts Building. He has been subpoenaed to be a witness in
a theft case. HIS truck was stolen by 2 “queers” that he was
having a wild homosexual orgy with. When you think the book can't
possibly get any more whacked … it does. Insert the duck quacking
boyfriend, no “insertion” pun intended. Not even going to
describe that “festival”... that was my awe hell naw moment.
Albert
is, by his own description, a middle aged, HIV+ queer,
methamphetamine addict and seller.
The
book is written from Alex's point of view..... which bounces around
from topic to topic, memory to memory.
Other
than being funny as hell, what was this thought wandering rant about?
Bodies of over-dosed addicts thrown in the lotus patch (in the
park), having HIV and a homosexual orgy that he “only watched”??
Purpose:
brain scatter ramblings like the meth head the character is.
Although
hilariously funny, I struggled to read this book. It was just too
far out there for me [and I like weird, off the wall books].
I
don't know exactly WHY it is that I just couldn't get into this book
better. The methamphetamine seller/addict lifestyle? The HIV+,
homosexual, xxxxx festival, meth addict lifestyle? It all transpires
in the uber weird State of California. It just had me saying the
author is one big whacked in the brain person … OR
if
California is REALLY like this....... well, Bless their lil homo,
duck quacking, meth addicted hearts. So glad I Iive in a rural
Southern State where nobody quacks like a duck unless they're duck
hunting.
Y'all
Be Safe, ya hear.
I
received the book free in exchange for an honest review. This does
not effect my rating or review.
My
review will be posted on amazon, goodreads, netgalley and
moonshineartspot.blogspot.com
