review 1: It may no longer have been Christmas when I read this book, and even less as I write this review, but the holidays went by so quickly and I really wanted to read it. As it happens, it may have a Christmas (or rather Santa) theme, but the humor and much of what it says about modern society as well as some gay men's view of the world, is an all-year affair. The blurb calls it an "epic adventure" and that is exactly what I got, including some hilarious interjections from the Narrator throughout the story. This novella made me laugh right from the opening paragraph: "The idea was simple: change the public perception of Santa Claus. Even if it hadn’t been the right thing to do—even if the holiday hadn’t become a gluttonous season of toothrotting fervor—it was still the ... moreonly thing that could be done. After all, Santa as the world had known him had just died of a massive coronary." After such a brilliant opening I was ready to delve in and laugh my head off – and I did.Kid Christmas (a fan of westerns, hence the name, or so we are told) is the guy elected to take over from the old, sadly departed Santa. Everything is going to be changed, including the Santa suit which is much too tight to accommodate certain, ahem, features of the new Santa. New transportation is acquired, and the Kid is just about ready to go when he is kidnapped by the evil villain Snow Globes.What follows is a wild sequence of events with sexual encounters at every turn. The Kid meets a set of North Pole inhabitants as he first escapes, then attempts to have his revenge on the villainous villain. Helpers from unexpected corners join the fray, and fun is had by all. Several times!Make no mistake, this is not a fluffy male/male romance, nor is it a deeply thoughtfu character study. It isn’t even a realistic book. What it offers is a sense of adventure as found in the best superhero stories, more raw, raunchy sex and constant innuendo than you can shake a stick at, and a somewhat unexpected, but in my case entirely welcome, happy end. So, be warned. If you are not a fan of hyperbole, gangbangs, and the impossible happening as if it were normal, then you should probably stay away from this book. If, on the other hand, you are ready to have a good laugh, have your eyes pop out at the craziness of Kid Christmas's sexual escapades, and if you want to know what some people imagine goes on at the North Pole, then you should go for it. Bring your sense of humor, a stiff drink, and enough time to read this in one go, and I am sure you'll have fun.
review 2: This is a very silly piece of festive erotica, with some delightfully filthy illustrations. Kid Christmas is the new Santa, but every man, super-villain, abdominal snowman (and that is the correct spelling!) and sentient ice-dildo wants a piece of his delectably muscular rear. Our slutty hero spends an awful lot of time with his bum in the air…There were times when the authorial intrusion was a little grating, but if you enjoy madcap gay erotica and don’t go expecting any depth you’ll enjoy this short read. And there’s a sort of romance there, despite all the gang banging. less

It's like reading a novel written by a gay Terry Pratchett. Go figure. I wish there's a sequel. :)

Absurd raunchy fun! Do not read this with anything but a desire to laugh and maybe be titillated.
