King Perverts Steve Lowe
I went to work with a copy of "King of the Perverts," by Steve Lowe with the expectation of actually doing my job. Before the story begins, the author's wife, Michele Lowe, gives us a precursory warning to the contents of the "book," which is a good sign in my opinion.
Honestly, I only intended on reading a few pages, but Lowe had me choking on laughter and burning through the pages. Before I knew it, the book was finished and it was time to go to work. Or so I thought.
Instead, I went ahead and picked up another of Steve Lowe's titles "Mio Padre, il Tumore," not because I hate my job, but because I love the writing style. Lowe scoops you up with a handful of simple words and carries you off to his world, however perversely insightful that may be, and brings you back with a face splitting post sex smile that will have your boss thinking you actually enjoy your job.

This book is not everyone's "cup of tea", but it is really funny. It is so over the top with the premise, that you can't take it too serious. I think back to "Natural Born Killers" by Oliver Stone. It was so over the top, and that's what the purpose was. I think Mr. Lowe achieved similar results here. There are acts described in this book that are so far over the top, that you just have to chuckle along with the author.
BalasHapusThe only negative thing I can say is that it was too short. Lowe does an amazing job getting us to be on the protagonist's side from the beginning. You get a feel that this "fish out of water" could really fall into a situation like this. I was disappointed when it was over. Although a longer book may have taken away from the story and added filler that did not need to be there.
I bought the Kindle version and felt it was worth the price. Again, this book is not for the kids. Some scenes are so "left of center" sexually that you have to just smile, laugh, and appreciate the work it took for the author to come up with some of these situations.
I just read this is one sitting because I couldn't put it down. It's the absolute funniest book I've read in a long time. SHEER entertainment. So many lines in it had me laughing so hard I had to read them again, since I couldn't believe what I just read. That, and some stuff is so good you just wanna experience it twice. Creative, witty, and over-the-top; it's Lowe's best work yet. Definitely my kind of humor, but that isn't to say it's not for everybody. It's too good of a book not to be.
BalasHapusAnd it's a GREAT story! It's something out of the ordinary, and it's rare to read anything these days that can still surprise you. It's original and could've only been spewed forth from Steve Lowe's awesome mind. And the comedic timing is perfect! There's some stuff in here that's way funnier than what I could usually come up with. ("The Angry Pirate" move was especially pure comedy gold.) One heck of a book. Highly recommended.
BalasHapusI honestly have to admit I've never seen a book like this one. It's not for everyone, but it worked for me.
