Summary: More of the same...
Comment: It's unfortunate that this is so predictable, because Sotos is fairly exciting in his way. The author knows he's mining the same ground, and the title is a self-depreciating joke. He's too lazy to take the risks of owning kiddie porn, so he writes his own. We buy it, and he writes some more. He is incredibly honest about emotion and biology and motivation, and the portrait he paints of humanity is dead-on accurate. He frames it in impulse and more and more bad decisions that lead to so many cheap lives and cheaper excuses for them. Further, he examines the lies the press tells when some ghetto filth winds up murdered. If you don't get the joke, don't buy this. If you do get the joke, I think TOTAL ABUSE is a much better introduction to this man's train of thought. After having plowed through his entire canon, it's tough to maintain interest in another trip to the booths. Pretty funny to see mention of different porn palaces I remember from my days in the Windy City, though. But, as the title implies, it's more solipsism and less of the venom of his early days, when killers acts were lovingly recounted so as to come alive on the page, with references to Nazis and torture-murderers as GENIUSES. There's no competition for this to speak of, so I still give this 4 stars. I hope the next one mines some new territory. The better joke may be that this stuff does sell.

Summary: Sotos' best since Total Abuse
Comment: I wish I could reproduce my full review of this book here, but it's longer than a thousand words and besides, it violates all kinds of terms that Amazon has set for its reviews. Sotos gives us the goods about the Sensation art exhibit, King Ian and Queen Myra, the back rooms of adult bookstores, prostitution in Chicago, you name it. It's all here, and it's all captured beautifully in its hazy, base, disgusting glory. Sotos writes about a part of society that few people are even aware of, and if they were aware of it, they'd probably wish they weren't. And that's where the power and importance of Sotos' writing lies, in the confrontation of discovering about parts of life you didn't know existed before.
