Konzentriertes WTF. Mit Charlie Sheen in einer tragenden Rolle. Doof, aber irgendwie unterhaltsam!

A bizarro Charlie Sheen inspired read. This was a rushed super-quick read. A little less than 'Okay.'

[Sheldon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Art is the Devil is a short story by John Skipp that takes a satirical look at the art community. Well, maybe more specifically the art community in Los Angeles. Pretentiousness be thy name. It has a dark humor (very dark) that readers of bizarro fiction will love, although it could be off-putting to someone who is not familiar with bizarro or John Skipp. He engages in some rather in-your-face commentary, but there's also a more subtle layer of commentary that you'll need to dig for. What is the truth of art? Who can explain this truth? You'll have to read to find out. Quick and entertaining. At 99 cents, you can't go wrong here. Have at it!

Excellent!

This I s a raw, unflinching, and incredibly funny horror tale about Hollywood trendiness and the brainless but beautiful people that make it such an unbearable hell hole....literally. Read it, then you'll know what I mean.
