Read This Book and Make Your Friends Read This Book, December 25, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: He Kept to Himself, Mostly (Paperback)
The stories in this book are meant to make you think. Think about everything that goes on under your nose that you're not quite sensitive enough to smell. And if you were, you might just gag and spit and vomit.
Just like the ozone, there's a gaping hole in the facade of middle-class America. With "American Princess," "Suburbia," "Before I Get Married," and "He Kept to Himself, Mostly," Mr. Dayton exposes the wounds and rubs on a helping of salt just to make the pain more unbearable.
He also sheds new light on capital punishment, ritual satanic abuse, and the Shroud of Turin. Of course, Mr. Dayton adds his unique slant on all of these issues with a dash of dry wit and cynicism.
This book may not change your life, but "He Kept to Himself. Mostly" will make you think. And eventhough the stories are extremely dark, you will get the feeling that someone is standing over your shoulder laughing.
Enjoy!
