review 1: I didn't like this one nearly as much as "I Hate Myself and Want to Die." The concept was stretched a little too far. I would have preferred a greater number of the songs to be primarily either unintentionally creepy or songs that are deceptively happy sounding. It might just be because he mentioned so many times that he had a hard time finding songs to put on the list, but I kept thinking that he might have been better off with a different topic.I still finished it in just two sittings, and I had a great time listening to the songs as I read the book. The first night, I read until past one o'clock in the morning. I finally forced myself to stop with "You Outta Know," because I didn't think another song would top it. I'm not sure if it's creepy that I've returned to m... morey "Touch Me, I'm Sick" playlist a few times.I'm kind of tempted to look Tom Reynolds up to start my campaign for "The 52 Most Insulting Love Songs You've Ever Heard."
review 2: My current creepiest love song has got to be Steve Carlsson's 'Pinata Nova' where he sings "I don't know why, I'm always trying to get inside of you". Hmm, maybe because you're a man Steve and your brains are in your trousers. And likening his woman to a pinata, which from my understanding of American culture is something you hang up and beat with a big stick until it's innards burst out, doesn't seem that romantic. Reynolds takes 52 various love songs in a similar vein and discusses what makes them creepy. I found this funnier than 'I Hate Myself and I Want to Die' but that's probably because I know more of the songs. If you've got a couple of hours to kill there are worse ways to do so than by reading this book. less
