Book Reviews of Skinema
Book Review: Holds Nothing Back
Summary: 5 Stars
It is basically stories of Chris Nieratko's life told through various porn reviews. In order to actually "enjoy" this book it helps to not be such a prude and wet blanket. I think it is definitely a book aimed towards a younger crowd because of its raunchiness and brutal honesty. If you have a open mind and a sense of humor you will enjoy this book. Some of the stories were so ridiculously funny you knew they had to be true. Others were questionable and seemed a little fabricated (the one about finding the local drug cop's safe under his bed) but whatever...they still make you crack a smile while reading. Being in college I thought this book was excellent. Different from other books out there and way better than mindless textbooks. It will get you laughing and cringing at the same time. I'm sure there will be critics out there that will eventually realize this book exists and try and condemn and denounce it, but it does actually inspire you to get off your bored butt and live life a little and have some fun like Chris did. Isn't that what life is about anyway???
Summary of Skinema
Though Skinema "reviews" over 150 pornos, Nieratko hardly ever mentions them, focusing instead on the pill-popping exploits that he's documented unapologetically over the past seven years in his column for Vice Magazine?much to his editors chagrin. As Johnny Knoxville so succinctly put it, Nieratko is an asshole, but whether Chris is rescuing a stalker from choking on her own vomit, getting his nose broken for having AIDS (he doesn't) or marrying the one woman that could put up with his insanity, his life sounds so much like a collection of hilarious bar stories it's impossible not to grab a beer and listen to the whole thing.Humor Books
