Reviews

[Ronald Wilcox · Rating 2 out of 5]

Lordy what a piece of dreck of a book. Writing is poor with very poor transitions in subject matter between one paragraph and the next. The author calls himself a gay man frequently in the book but shows both a ridiculously high opinion of himself as well as a lot of self-hatred. His rude commentary is horrible at times, even for the time the book was written (early 1990's). The only saving grace was the chapter discussing religion and homosexuality, which raised it from 1 to 2 stars.

"Very scary, intense, and violent book."
