Reviews

[Jordan Hoxsie · Rating 2 out of 5]

I don't hate you, Sam Pink. Your writing style is unique. Your short works ask the question: do humans REALLY have the ability of sympathizing with others? However, even though the narrator of this online chapbook is confused with morality and society in general, he is still an uninteresting character. Several of his musings seem rather bland, especially his use of emoticons and the number of the beast (666), which in recent years have almost become a symbol for the acne-ridden, teenage internet rebel. The title, I gather, is supposed to be a nod to the narrator's moral ambivalence, but it seems to be another pop-culture reference above all else.

Score: 2.4/5 Stars
