If you're not offended by the first line, we're good to go. If you are, go to the cover and read the quote from my mom. The book is a social media satire (FICTION) about the way we're currently being sold everything we consume. It used to be ads, not it's each other. Enjoy with a nice Evian water. ;-)
P.S. there's a lot of masturbation.
"Jason Donnelly's words slap you around like a horny Grizzly bear."
-Scott C. Rogers, Publisher at Black Coffee Press
"Part cautionary tale, part satire, and always dysfunctional, Gripped is a hilarious and disturbing story of angst, delusion and the basic human desire to connect. If Kurt Vonnegut and Sarah Silverman had a literary offspring, it might look something like this."
-Richard Thomas, author of Staring Into the Abyss
"Donnelly proves he is a true artisan of literature, fashioning from man's insecurities a puzzle box of a story where the dark underbelly of life is explored, and the pursuit of happiness is a road tarred with absurdity and wit."
-Craig Wallwork, author of The Sound of Loneliness
"Gripped holds a mirror up to America's narcissistic social media self-obsession. In our modern culture of ME ME ME, Donnelly dances on the line of comedic grace and brutal honesty to show how ugly personal growth can be."
-Michael Paul Gonzalez, author of Angel Falls
"Donnelly is lampooning American consumerist culture, a culture that is, in itself, a kind of masturbation, so it makes sense that the main character is a masturbation addict. With prose that is spare and clear, he avoids heavy-handedness with his message by lacing the novel with humor and verve."
-CL Bledsoe, author of Man of Clay and The Saviors
"The powers of consumerism and masturbation compel you! Gripped is the new slacker novel for the rebelling automaton in us all. Funny, fast, and slyly unconventional, Jason Donnelly must be stopped before it's too late."
-Paul Tremblay, author of In The Mean Time
"Just finished Gripped by Jason Donnelly, a dark tale of control, of Mark McCarren, that's two C's and two R's... and an 8 week program. It is funny while having a malevolent darkness through it."
-Jonny Gibbings, author of Malice in Blunderland
