Book Review: hunger
Summary: 5 Stars
i am pretty hungry right now
while i do not blame the book
for this
i believe it has been a little
bit a factor:
a. there is lots of references
to food/animals
(animals are food in many
cultures)
b. there is no/little science
(scientists do not need to
eat)
c. the book itself is inedible
except for maybe the 31st page
which can be described as "crunchy"
in closing:
i would heartily reccomend 5 pounds
of gummy bears instead:
Haribo Gummi Candy Gold-Bears, 5-Pound Bag
thank you. goodbye.
Book Review: Brilliant as Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Eeeee Eee Eeee provides important insight into the mind of a young man on the brink of statutory rape. Here, Tao Lin deftly and successfully tackles a rarely discussed and vastly complex phenomenon. Through surreal and often comedic anthropomorphism, he draws in the reader's subconscious and evokes empathy for those involved, until they finally, and perhaps unwittingly, understands the true nature of those so ostracized by our culture.
With remarkable precision, Lin combines fantastic rationalization with corporal reality: the sexual intrigue of a young girl with a young man and fellow outsider.
Stunning, enjoyable, and revealing, this is, without a doubt, the most important read of the season.
Book Review: Tao Lin's best
Summary: 5 Stars
Although Tao Lin has been consecutively strong in all of his books so far, I think EEEEE EEE EEEE is his best. The book not only confronts the indifference of the universe but sarcastically laughs in its face. The book has a lot of dolphins and bears trying to cope with life's disappointments such as Jhumpa Lahiri, Elijah Wood, and the DaVinci Code. The DaVinci Code isn't actually mentioned in the books as the other things are but if it were a moose would probably look at it and then scream in agony before running in front of a subway train. I recommend this book for all ages. I first read it with my kids and they both liked it and often beg for me to read chapters of it to them before they go to sleep.Book Review: I like this book. It made me feel better. I stayed up for a long time after I read this book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book in the mail in the summer. I read it on the couch. I only got up once, to pee and make and eat a salad. I enjoyed reading the book. It was funny and irreverent. Reading Eeeee Eee Eeee felt like talking to someone who was nice and wouldn't judge me. I felt like the things that made the main character feel certain ways had made me feel the same ways in the past. It helped me understand my situation in the world a little bit. After I read it I rode my bike past a coffee shop where people that go to art school hang out. I felt good. I would suggest this book to people that like Ann Beattie's first two books, Lorrie Moore, Joy Williams or Miranda July.
