Where to begin? This book is basically the fictional story of Kara (a "woman of low moral fiber"), the people she's had sex with (everyone), and her friends (people she's had sex with), as well as other citizens of the town (people she intends to have sex with).This isn't a book so much as it is just a long and drawn out stereotype. If you want to read this kind of material, seek out any public internet chatroom where teens gather- it's totally free of charge and it's even interactive!

The author claims that he produces this work becase "Kids don't read because it's boring," and apparently considers the solution to be cramming graphic sex and crude language in their faces. I'm a diehard fan of South Park, and this work still scares me (personally, I find more moral fiber in one episode of South Park than I could find in this whole book). Everyone in it is a flat stereotype, and thus there's absolutely no reason to care about any of them. The events of the town are senselessly dry because the only flavor you could possibly find in the book would be if you just have some dire need to read curse words and retarded sexual allusions with zero literary impact due to a lack of surrounding material.

In the end, it's just impossible to understand why the authors put this work into print. If you're 30+, have never read a serious literary work in your life, and your greatest regret in life was being a prude in high school, this book might appeal to you. For the entire rest of the civilized world, the book is a highly overpriced paperweight. Please, prove that there's some hope left for humanity- don't but this book and make sure no one you know does either.

This is less like a book, and more like 200 pages of an AOL pre-teen chatroom. This is honestly quite possibly the worst thing I've ever read, and it seems like it's written for people who are illiterate (that means you can't read). Ever seen the movies "Kidz" and "Thirteen?" Imagine kids like that twice as stupid trying to write, and you have this piece of trash.

If you read the various other reviews written on this novel, you will most likely see a very polarized reaction- the readers of this particular saga seem completely divided between utter loathing and fervent admiration. Many of the exorbitantly positive opinions expressed here state that this particular novel was written for a younger, internet-savvy demographic, one less concerned with literary convention and more with humor and colloquialism. One could indeed make an argument that many of the great novelists were either disliked or unnoticed in their respective times, but I sincerely doubt Mr. Blizzurd lies amongst their ranks. The humor described in many of these customer reviews is that of the lowest common demonminator, forgoing all semblance of wit or irony in favor of an almost shameful crudeness. Another of this novel's virtues, as described by its supportive reviewers, alludes to the idea that this novel is written without typical literary conventions, and in doing so appeals to a broad audience through conversationalism. But to venerate a novel based on its lack of complexity, for its stereotypical and unrealistic characters, abandonment of a cohesive, coherent, or even entertaining plot, its use of simplistic language and its many other faults is simply a testament to how bad modern times have become. Though I acknowledge this is meant to be a satire, a parody of the lifestyle lead by the novel's protagonist (I use this term loosely here), that does not excuse it from being poorly-written and indescribably exploitative; all the humor and mass appeal in the world cannot redeem this shameful profiteering venture. A novel such as this one exemplifies everything wrong with modern literature, and it is a shame that this author has received publication while many other credible, talented writers remain unpublished, unread, and unappreciated. I do agree with many of the positive reviewers who state that reading should be entertaining, yet I certainly hope that the public does not need a book this low, this disgraceful, this terribly written and shallow in order to find reading attractive. This book has only two purposes, both tinly-veiled: as [...] material poorly passed off as literature, and as a perfect example of how the modern American novel has declined so steeply over the years.
This book is an abomination, and to purchase it is to fill the coffers of its untalented, profiteering, shameless author, and to contribute to a lamentable trend in modern American literature. You're all smarter than this; do not sell yourselves short with this novel. If you have the capacity to read this website, you have the capacity to appreciate literature far greater than this, and I fully urge you all to do so.
Thank you.

I... Where do I begin? I was drunk one night and somebody showed me a link to her website. Naturally, being inebriated, I checked it out, went schizoid, and bought the book. I am ashamed for having done this. I kept it in the bathroom just in case I ran out of toilet paper and would read it there. The book is not sexy. It is somewhat funny. And if the author thinks that by not actually describing the sexual acts performed in the book it would still be a turn on... Marc Blizzurd has another thing to think about. These are supposed short stories from a creative writing class. I seriously hoped the professor flunked his uneducated ass.
Because of this, I have decided to give writing a shot. I am not trained as a writer, nor claim to be. Hopefully I'll finish it and have something that is not just sexy (I'm receiving help from erotica writers), funny, and all-in-all a good story. But knowing me I probably won't. We'll see what happens.
But if you want something "sexy" please stay away from Pigeon Kara. **shudders**

The book is low-quality porn, but that isn't even the biggest problem with it. The real issue is that the author insists on spamming various non-commercial message boards to promote his book with ads that aren't even relevant to the message boards. He reposts these unwanted ads repeatedly, despite complaints, and even after administrators remove them. He is truly an incorrigible abuser of the Internet with no regard for others and no conception of the inappropriateness of inserting commercial messages where they do not belong. It's a free country and the author certainly has a constitutional right to write garbage like this book. He has no constitutional right to spam readers of other sites to get them to buy it. Amazon.com should be free not to carry books by authors who promote them through abuse and deceit.

This is without doubt the single most facile and awful book it has ever been my misfortune to read. Its literary style is that of a dysfunctional four-year-old with learning difficulties. The paper-thin vapid plot is as empty as the excruciating dialog between the characters. It is actually physically painful to read much more than the first few hundred words. If you do preserver and complete this monstrosity you may agree with me that the old theory, that if you put an infinite number of monkeys in a room with an infinite number of typewriters they would eventually produce the complete works of Shakespeare, has some truth to it. As this book reads very much like their first attempt at it.

Please save yourself the time you would have spent reading this book and do the following:

-1.) Boil water to scalding temprature.
-2.) Pour scalding hot water on face.

I have given you a project much more worthwhile than reading this book.

Simply put, this is a book that makes Monica Lewinski seem like Shakespeare.

I was spammed on AIM by the supposed "author" to buy "her" book. Needless to say, I didn't suffer this grammar-slaughtering airhead gladly. I don't know who wrote (if you can call it writing) this utter debris of a literary abortion, but there's got to be something fishy going on.

The website is affront to anything decent artistically or morally. How is such a braindead individual able to live without dying or being killed? These things keep me awake at night.

The work of a known spammer. Note all the 1 star (because there's no zero star option) reviews. Many mention how he spams... add to that list a fake MySpace profile.

Notice all the people that found this review "unhelpful"?
Yeah, they're all from the spammer "writer" too.
