Summary: Can the novel be any better?
Comment: So it's noir written in the late 90s. So it's written like a dream (a nightmare, actually), no quotations marks, paragraphs that attempt no meaning, etc. So it's Baer; who the hell is he?!?!?! One of the most promising authors today, that's for sure. I'm from Argentina, so you can imagine than when I bought this book in Italy (I bought the English version), I didn't know who this guy was or anything. Let me tell you this is not an easy read, but it is an AMAZING journey to the depths of a psychotic mind (Phineas, that is). I found the non quotation marks added to the "I'm not going to make things easier for the reader" possition Baer took. I'm very delighted with the novel, which is not only an hypnotic tale but a love story at it's best (so you can imagine it's full of peverse, cynical thoughts and actions). READ IT.

Summary: A genuine page turner!
Comment: I picked up this book and was quickly drawn in by the plot and characters. Stylish noir at its best, this author has no equal, his style is original and certainly dead-on; these people live in their own fascinating world. It is no coincidence that the main character is named Phileas Poe, this guy has some major issues. I am a die-hard mystery fan and have to admit that I have never read anything like it.

Summary: You've got to be kidney me.
Comment: I am a huge fan of Chuck Palahniuk, Augusten Burroughs, Neal Pollack. While this book was as dark as any of the author's works I've mentioned, there was just something "ugly" about this book. It is well written, although the edition I borrowed was poorly edited (at least two typos). The kidney....believable.....the relationship between Mr. Kidney and Jude was not. But then he did seem to have a deathwish. I read that Mr. Baer is working a screen play for this book. The book definately reads like a vivid, raw film and will be a success. I like to snort laugh with my darkness....this book just was not funny. I felt like I needed a shower afterwards...or....wander into a foaming drive thru car wash.
