5.0 out of 5 stars Suprisingly Good, January 10, 2004

This review is from: American Slacker (Paperback)

This was a very good read. I wasn't expecting much when I first picked the book up, but I was plesantly surprised.

Check this little humble novel out. If you like movies like Slacker, Clerks, or Fight Club, you'll dig this book. Great for slacker types of folks of all kinds!

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting trip into weirdness, August 21, 2003

This review is from: American Slacker (Paperback)

A strange story. An only slightly super-normal narrator transported through an exaggerated world of quasi-normal events stretched to their logical extreme. Can only be described in non-sequiturs.

You will be chuffed.

5.0 out of 5 stars What I Thought of American Slacker, November 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: American Slacker (Paperback)

Any book that can combine incest, flaming beastiality, murder, as well as every perversion known to man and make you want to go to church at the end is worth the read. Jim Ciscell is a southern fried Bret Easton Ellis without a conscience, after reading this book, I prompty cleaned myself off, but throughly enjoyed this guilty pleasure.
