The only reason this book might ever sell is simply because, as far as can be gleaned from Myspace, all their fans are complete suck-ups. They love the book because it might make the band like them more.

They go online and post comments saying “OMG Anorexia Nervosa is the best album ever. It’s so RAW!!”

Only, three months before the album is released.

at jacob – i think the reviewer was alluding to the fact that porter’s violence has nothing to do with the story itself, not the fact that he is making a “profound social statement,” but i dont know myself, because i have not yet read the whole thing

and i havent read much of ellis, but ive read several of palahniuks books, and his gruesome violence whatever is just like palahniuk, and in my opinion, even his writing is growing rather tired lately.

im sure there are better books out there (by either of the aforementioned authors, bret easton ellis or chuck palahniuk), but im also willing to bet there are worse out there too

Joshua Stephen Porter’s step into the world of literature has been a courageous, and FAR from futile effort. As I turned the last page of this book, tears filled my eyes, and as they fell from my face, I fell to the floor. The frenzy of emotion was intense, shifting from utter pain, despair, and disbelief, into hope, and joy, and appreciation. Joshua Porter may not be for all readers, but for the few who would dare read this excellent novel with an open mind, I trust you will get something out of it. A new outlook on love, at it’s “rawest,” maybe. The greatest of all things is love, and true love is forever.

The only complaints I could have at this book is that Porter drags some scenes out severely, and overdoes the descriptions to a total excess. I do heavily disagree with Mr. Ryan Napier (Author of this article), on his opinionr that the violence scenes have no point. Consider the following, if you will. When a father catches his son smoking for the first time, what would he rather do, hand the kid another cigarrette so he’ll see its evils, or make him smoke a whole carton so he never wants to smoke again? Of course, anyone with half of a brain could see that if he gives the kid another cigarrette he’ll just be feeding the addiction. When Porter writes the violent and sexual scenes in the novel he is making a similar statement. The more you see this violence, vivid sex and sin, it magnifies its abhorrent nature, the sheer volume of it all can make it disgusting to the reader. Josh wants you to not only see the violence or perversion, but be disgusted by it. By realizing the overabundance of these types of scenes, Mr. Napier, Joshua Porter has already gotten the exact point to you, that he was trying to make.

… and Joshua Porter, is an amazing lyricist.

“…and may raw rock kill you for ever and ever, amen.”

You can buy them at Showbread concerts. That’s where 2 of my friends got their copies.
I agree with this review. I’m 41 pages in and not impressed. Not everyone is an author and he needs to let go of his need for attention.
Showbread has become mediocre just like this book.

After reading the first three paragraphs I didn’t bother reading the third. It’s rather opprobrious if you ask me. Your entire cacophony of how Palahniuk has become a consistent writer is totally distasteful. I don’t share any of the same emotions after his stories. Just by reading the back of one of his books I could tell you that he has already become different from most other writers. I am truly amazed by how he nourishes characters into their most evil perception, and I totally agree with it. Personally I think someone needs to take a nap and go back to Dr. Seuss.

Enjoy,
