Deckle edge paper
This Book Is Bound with "Deckle Edge" Paper
You may have noticed that some of our books are identified as "deckle edge" in the title. Deckle edge books are bound with pages that are made to resemble handmade paper by applying a frayed texture to the edges. Deckle edge is an ornamental feature designed to set certain titles apart from books with machine-cut pages. See a larger image.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing. Don't bother reading it. 31 Mar 2011
By A. Ryan
Format:Paperback
I read this book after recommendations, because I like William S. Burroughs. Krilanovich obviously takes influence from Burroughs as well as other authors I like (Hunter S. Thompson, Chuck Palahniuk and other beat writers) but the standard is much lower.

This book is a debut and it is easy to tell. I've also read that the book was written and (possibly) published in separate chapters before being published fully, and it reads as such. Words are repeated many times in a chapter, and then never mentioned again. There is very little character development, and you don't find yourself feeling anything for the main character. I understand it is meant to be written like this, but unlike Burroughs and Thompson there isn't enough interesting things happening to balance out the deliberate lack of information.

Until Krilanovich improves I won't be reading any more of her books. This book was a chore to read, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Strange and very confusing novel... 6 Jun 2012
By F Drew
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was a very difficult book to read. It took a lot longer to finish than an average novel, even though it's only 172 pages. Most of it did not make any sense to me, and I felt was open to all sorts of interpretation. Every page was weird, ambiguous, disjointed. I can see the comparisons with W Burroughs, the random 'cut up' technique, stream of consciousness etc. But, if an entire novel is like that, well, what are you meant to think? It is very confusing indeed. Some rare parts I quite liked, and even though it's largely incomprehensible - at least to me - it is still well written. It is hyper-surreal; at no point do you know what is real and what is imagined. Is it a dream, a nightmare? Insanity? It's never clear; the end has some sort of resolution but even that is really vague.

I think it would be useful for readers, if the author discussed her book somewhere, as it's very hard to figure out her intentions/motives for writing this. Some good reviews of the book can be found online, as well as various comments etc. I actually found these more interesting than the novel itself!

To sum up, I'd say, the effort is intriguing, and the author shows guts for writing this. I didn't find it entertaining though and felt it was too experimental.

So, unless you're willing to slowly plod through a very bizarre and disorienting text, I don't think you should buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hallucinagenic and challenging read. 18 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
If you are a fan of Burroughs, or are looking for something challenging to read, this is for you. Not an easy read, but well worth the time and effort it takes to sit with it, and open yourself to the disease of mental illness and a hard life on the road.
