review 1: I didn't finish it because this book was just so much crap. I believe I read a review in the the NYT or New Yorker or on NPR books that made it sound interesting. Something compelled me to read it, but once I got it and read 5 or 6 stories, I realized that the author was just writing gross and shocking short stories for no other reason than to be gross and shocking. The stories were not beautiful in any way (and believe me, Cormac McCarthy can make a massacre of innocents into poetry, so it is possible.) Nor were they insightful, nor great use of language or any way redeeming. It's crap like this that makes me wonder why I haven't published a book yet. I mean, really, who's idea was it to publish this worthless drivel?
review 2: Squirmy, sad, dirty minuti... moreae-encrusted tales filled with private moments and relationship games and all the blood and ooze and exhaustion residing in the corners. The shock of reality, brief blips of relief, perhaps grace. 24 snapshots of characters who don't want you to know them, revealed in words printed sideways, literally, on this pocket-sized book of sharp prose by a fearless writer who should continue writing and continue being fearless. less
